have the worst button layout of any I've ever come across
two buttons and a zip, okay?
but
the first button is the wrong way round, facing in at you instead of out
the designer obviously never tried going to the toilet or even just getting dressed in the dark
very annoying, would not buy again

So why did you buy them in the first place?
Please, elucidate

october1983 · « **Reply #3 on:** 10 Aug 2010, 14:07 »

yeah man you're all up in the designer's shit for his lack of foresight but what the hell happened to yours?

well I hate clothes shopping so I just rush through and grab whatever I need that's in my size

I think we can all learn a very important lesson from this thread.

Isn't this a fairly common thing? I've had lots of clothes with this "setup", I kinda like it. Less pull on the one button. And one button faces in because it would look kinda silly with two buttons out, I guess.

ampersandwitch · « **Reply #7 on:** 10 Aug 2010, 15:06 »

I think what you're dealing with here is women's shorts, to be entirely candid

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #8 on:** 10 Aug 2010, 15:07 »

My "fancy pants" are like that. I haven't had a problem with it.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #9 on:** 10 Aug 2010, 15:11 »

I put my belt on the other direction yesterday 'just to try something new' (wow wild). It's surprisingly hard to unbuckle and re-buckle.

That was pretty standard on most of the dress pants I've owned. Except some have the button on the inside and then a slide in clip sort of deal so that you don't have a button on the outside.

Emaline · « **Reply #13 on:** 10 Aug 2010, 17:18 »

Yeah, my boyfriend's dress pants have the clip. But I have a lot of clothes like that. I think its fairly common, and I'm not sure how its a problem.

Patrick · « **Reply #14 on:** 10 Aug 2010, 18:19 »

My work pants at McDonald's were like that. I thought it was so that when one of the buttons inevitably fell off due to the relatively high activity levels in that workplace, you would have the other to serve as a backup. I didn't realize until considerably later that they were just poorly made, shitty pieces of clothing.

Just don't button the inner facing button. Or cut it off. Then they're normal shorts. The button hole won't be seen from the outside, right?

E. Spaceman · « **Reply #18 on:** 10 Aug 2010, 20:16 »

This is a very common setup for trousers. I think you should get around it by not wearing those shorts.

Less pull on the one button

Exactly this, significantly extends the life of the buttons and the pants in general.

Stop bitching.

When I have problems with pants it's never the button.

totes.

also i bike but i'm pretty sure that friction vs. denim has nothing to do with it.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #29 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 06:25 »

My pants, without fail, always develop a hole in exactly the same place, just behind and to one side of the seam in the crotch. Considering getting every new pants I buy reinforced straight away. I have lost damn near every pair of dress pants I own (including several that belonged to suits) because of it. Although that has as much to do with me being too dang lazy/inattentive to go get it fixed when it is a small enough hole to invisible mend.

Once again, that button setup seen above doesn't just reduce stress on the button, but across the whole front of the pants.

Liz · « **Reply #30 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 08:17 »

My pants get holes their too, pretty sure it's because my thighs rub together when I walk and the pants just wear out. Oh well.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #31 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 08:25 »

Oh yeah that's probably it. Depressing.

Ladybug · « **Reply #32 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 10:22 »

Yeah, that happens to mine as well, well before button issues (and it's annoying as hell – I just lost my favorite pair of jeans due to it). But I just think I look less "stuffed" when the pull is divided between two buttons and the pants look better in the front with it anyways, so I like it.

Liz · « **Reply #33 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 10:54 »

It's okay Dovey, we are just cuddly individuals. That is all!

Slick · « **Reply #34 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 15:14 »

I always get that crotch-rip because I wear pretty much exclusively used dress pants and hop onto high bike seats several times a day every day.

smack that isaiah · « **Reply #35 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 15:19 »

When the crotches of my pants rip it's because my junk is just so big. Just sayin'

Lunchbox · « **Reply #36 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 16:19 »

Every single pair of my boyfriend's pants have crotch rip. Just sayin'

(I want to fix them but he seems reluctant, maybe I will have to go back to sticking my finger in the hole every time I go for a grope, that really annoys him.)

Not really, no. I can't remember the last time being groped was part of my reality. *sigh*

Maybe you should grab your fiance's butt more?

My jeans always rip in the same spot on my right thigh, about two inches below the crotch seam. Most annoying thing ever, but it never fails. Also two buttons > one button for reasons listed above as well as the fact that buttons are pretty awesome.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #42 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 22:02 »

Mine wear out in the crotch just like everyone else has said, it's maddening. Thank god, I thought it was only me.

Emaline · « **Reply #43 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 22:09 »

I get the fatty wear marks in the thighs.

I've actually found a way around this! Put deodorant on your thighs! Sounds weird but it has helped me!

(Also, losing some weight helps as well. Maybe thats why it hasn't been happening lately...)

ampersandwitch · « **Reply #44 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 22:50 »

Everyone in this thread should wear skirts instead

Emaline · « **Reply #45 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 22:57 »

I actually do! Most of the time. Most of my outfits are skirt related. I just like them so much more.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #46 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 23:12 »

I made a skirt out of a tapestry I was using for curtains. It's really comfortable.

bicostp · « **Reply #47 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 23:30 »

Does anybody else just not bother with the button at all? I always wear a belt, which can handle the button's job easily, so why bother with it?

I have been meaning to get a kilt. Turns out I wear plaid pretty well.

johnny5 · « **Reply #49 on:** 13 Aug 2010, 18:02 »

that sucks that you don't have the mental or motor skills needed to undo a button facing in and then a button facing out. i guess now i'll donate my money to a governor who opposes gay marriage but can button his pants. you made me do this
