What, convert zipper jeans to buttons? I can’t see how that would ever be worth the trouble, even if I were a good enough tailor to do it.

No, I’ll stick with the 501s for a while yet. Bought six pair at a Levi’s outlet sale three years ago and I still haven’t even taken the tags off four of them, so I’m set for now unless I gain or lose a huge amount of weight (unlikely). I wore out clothes a lot faster before retirement.

Yep- too much work- there are tools to help for button attachment and button hole maker- but not sure how secure they would put the buttons on- but still- not worth the effort really-

Yep- same here-
