The US military (the ones at the sharp end, anyway) are up in arms about Velcro fasteners. They don’t work as well as buttons when pockets bulge. They collect dirt and sand. And they go “RRRR - I - I - I - I - P” on opening and give away a soldier’s position to the enemy.
Buttons are silent, work in muddy conditions and, according to the US Army’s laundry experts, “do not fray and disintegrate with repeated laundering”. Which says rather a lot about experts who don’t know that buttons do drop to pieces and/or come off in the wash.
Well, please yourselves!
