Anywhere sell button fly pants?

[charlie farley]

Does anyone sell pants with a button fly nowadays? I can remember thinking (1970's last time I saw them)how inconvenient they were when in a hurry but the other day the zipper on my pants broke and I thought back to when pants had button fly fastening.Usually it was only one button that came off and it was easier to get by 'till you got home but when a zip goes it is useless.It is far easier to sew on another button than a zip.I hate them now:rage:

It's ok now I'm calm I'm calm

I was at Target buying a new pair of jeans (regular 'ol $20 Levis) and noticed some of the pricier Levis (the ones where you pay an extra $80 to have some kid in a third-world country roll about in the mud while wearing your future jeans) had button flies. Probably not what you are looking for, but they DO exist.

The only button flies I've found besides jeans have been Indiana Jones pants, and custom jobs, like Magnoli.

Edit/Addition; If messed-up zippers are a frequent problem for you, might I recommend buying better pants or considering a slightly tamer lifestyle.

I'm pretty sure some company still makes 'em. I know I've seen a couple pairs at thrift stores now and then. They weren't vintage, but they were a nice dressy pair of trousers (Read:not jeans or khakis), and although I didn't buy them I remember checking the label to see where I could get some. Of course I can't remember the name now...

As does River Junction

I think there is a third company that I don't seem to have bookmarked. I will add it if I can find it.

I would hazard a guess that Mr. Farley is after contemporary pants with a button fly- rather than Victorian/Old West trousers, which are a totally different
kettle of tomatoes.

Unless we hear otherwise, it's in the realm of MTM and Tailoring but there MUST be someone who DOES do OTRack button flies.

Dress pants.The pants with the broken zip are ok dress pants that I used for work in the bar.They cost $120.00/ £60.00,the minimum I usually pay for pants.I've come across this before, pants ok but zip not long lasting.Buttons on the other hand are much better at least you can strengthen the buttons thread.

Don't know that they are still made, but I found a nice pair in a soft brushed denim at a thrift store. Made by J. Crew.

Apparently they are still making them,....

Quite a few off the peg over here. Some of Cordings offerings have a button fly. Amongst other makes I also have trousers by Pakeman, Catto & Carter that are similarly secured. Neither are cheap.

The Japanese label Johnbull makes a good quality button fly chino, might be a bit inconvenient ordering from Japan though.

I don't know if they offer button flies, but Old Town's trousers look like they should have them!

If not, they could probably modify a pair especially for you.

Sung to the tune of stormy weather:

Don't know why,
Got no buttons on my fly,
Got a zipper,
My girl, she says its quicker.....

Old Town DO have button fly trousers.
And NO, they would not do anything special for anyone.
They "make to order"(carry no stock), to their own spec and sizes.
You cannot make changes to their spec.
