Buttons were the in thing

When I was a kid.

You always heard

Button your fly.

 

For a long time

Zippers have ruled

The roost in clothing

But buttons are still around.

Buttons are back!! Jeans have them now instead of zippers and they like them. I have loads of buttons and if I am going to throw something away I cut off the buttons and save them. You never know when you might need a button or two. Lol

I have my mother's button box, and treasure it!
Zippers are faster and simpler -- except when they get stuck -- and then you are stuck with a stuck zipper!
Velcro might be the best route!

Nice to read about the old days.
