Is this going to be a story about how you got the nickname "shorty" or maybe "lefty"?

I liked western shirts with snaps and owned a couple of them at a time in the 80s. It's been over 25 years since I've owned one, though.

I can't imagine why a male would get zippered pants, but it seems like all of them do.

Being female, there is no danger posed. Still, I prefer (casual) pants that just fasten with a drawstring.

Note that there exist tearaway pants for basketball players that have snaps up and down the side. (Because the coach may put the player in at any time and there is not a lot of time to get on the floor)
