Wow. I am in the minority here, but zipper first! Hold the button and button hole together in one hand, zip up, and then button! Always!

Button first then forget to zip

Button first, then zipper, then put on pants.

Zipper then button. Button first feels weird to me

Button, then forget to zip until there's a cold breeze

Depends how tight my pants are

Button first. Reduces stress on the zipper. Nobody wants premature zipper failure.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Also just makes the zipper easier to operate in general.

button first, both closing and opening.

Button -> Zipper

I leave them both open for ventilation.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I leave them open to assert dominance.

Tuck in undershirt, button, buckle belt. Do things for a couple hours. Wife tells me my pants are unzipped again

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I usually button the button and immediately forget to zip the fly. Hours later after I've been in public all day I'll notice that the fly is unzipped and try to zip it without anyone noticing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Reminds me of the story of the guy who was told his fly was down, so turned 180° from the people he was with to fix the issue, as is expected. Except in this case, he previously had his back to a much larger group of people (think cliques at a party), so basically zipped up in front of way more people than he would have done if he hadn't turned around.

So you want us to show you our arseholes while you're showing everybody your peehole? You are a master of business.

Button then zip

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

If they are loose enough sometimes I do the zipper first, otherwise I do the button first to make the zipping easier.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

That's a good question for which I don't know the answer, even though I do it quite often. 🤯

Vinage 501s so I button my button first then button my zipper.
