Where can I find men's button-fly pants??

May 14, 2011 3:36 PM

Where can I find men's button-fly trousers??? I have searched and searched for men's button fly trousers. Not looking for Levi 501s (those are easy to find).

I've tried doing google searches but usually only come up with vintage size 28 waist ones, or some hideously overpriced $200+ pants. One searched yielded up an import company who would be willing to sell me some, with a minimum purchase of 1000 pairs (seemed a little out of my league). This is seeming like an impossible quest, yet occasionally I see guys out with button fly trousers. I'm loathe to bother them "Excuse me sir, as I was looking at your crotch I noticed that your fly is buttoned up . . . " Any help or direction from teh hive mind would be appreciated!

Do you have an H&M near you? I've seen several button-fly styles there lately.

I have Gap "1969" jeans, which have a button fly.

I'm confused. Are you looking for trousers or jeans?

Nearly everything I buy @ HM is button fly, from trousers, to cords, to jeans.

Gentleman's Emporium are not really walking around clothes. You want to go for hard-wearing exclusivity. Behold: Old Town Clothing of Norfolk. Authentic button fly trousers from working traditions.

If you're ok with khaki or OD green: At The Front, a WWII reproduction company, has a few:

Army HBT Trouser
P41 Utility Trouser
M1943 Field Trouser
Rigger Modified M1943 Field Trousers
1st Pattern HBT Trouser

The German side has a few too, although they're wool, cost more, and have a few more vintage idiosyncrasies.

Have you tried Kohls? They have quite a few button fly jeans at my local one in San Jose, CA

Lucky Brand Jeans have button fly, although they're available with zip as well. They're available in a number of stores country-wide in the US. As a bonus, their boot-cut is a slightly older style, so less skinny-jean-esque than most.

Response by poster: I am looking fro trousers. I have tried several of the suggestions, Thanks for helping me out. Sadly, it seems on the Dockers and Zappos sites, even if you search for "button fly" you get zip fly results.
