    Not sure which section they belong in but they sure don't belong in my house. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing those, with or without "free" features. IMHO, they belong in the recycling bin.

    At first I laughed - who would throw in a free button hole opening right? But no, I was too quick to judge. This isn't a button hole opening, it's an openning, and I've never seen one of them before. They're probably extremely rare, maybe collectable. Maybe even a hint of Danish in the design, which as we all know, is always cool.

    To be fair maybe standard Chinese wear is elasticated waists? After all they have less of an issue with ever expanding waist sizes than the west... The scary part is I'm not even sure I'm joking.

    I for one now want an OPENNING in all my clothes.

    I feel as though , for many decades I was being short changed with only an OPENING

    The extra N is literally the nth degree of awesome.

    Kids these days don't know they're born.

    The Engrish is strong:
    "Focus on each piece of fashion brand collocation with great care".

    And down in the comments the Chinese pro comment factory is in full effect.
    "For people who want to buy them and don't trust them I recommend 100% seriously haven't let me down or scammed are of good quality and the embroidery of the drawings is fantastic, I attach"


    I don't about you but I'm finding it hard to resist buying a pair!

    To be fair, if someone pointed you at a box of 50 trousers and said the customer had asked for them shipped with all the buttons open, please unwrap, unbutton and replace in the bags, how much would you charge? I'm guessing these people are aiming at bulk sales.

    Not unbuttoned, but sold with buttonhole opened (cut open), do they mean though?

    Happened to notice today that a terracotta pot in a wellknown UK DIY store was described as being 'enhanced' with a drainage hole. I can see me going back in time & explaining to my Grandad that a flowerpot hole is an enhancement.
