    Button, but I usually leave the zipper undone. I just wish it was intentional. :xx:

    I prefer button fly jeans -- there's no chance of getting anything caught in the zipper.

    I suppose I better answer too

    I'd normally button then zip but as I've lost some weight recently, I don't bother unfastening my tousers anymore, have to hold them up with a belt

    I hate flies. They always get in my eyes and hair when I'm biking and at home they annoy me by landing on me all the time.

    Oh wait, those kind of flies. Button, then zipper. The only sensible order, I'd say.

    For some strange reason, if I zip first I always get Mr. LKD stuck or otherwise injured. As I tend to avoid injuries to my friend, I prefer to button first.

    I used to have a pair of button fly jeans. Meh, they were OK but I'm too used to zippers.

    I never really thought about it. I actually couldn't vote until I went to the restroom and did it in the order. I almost messed up thinking about it. But, one thing I will say is I always double-check my fly to make sure it's zipped up all the way.

    Button first, then zip. For better pork-sword safety.
