Tailoring question trouser fly

[DoyleEstabrook]

I tend to do a lot of hunting for high quality secondhand clothing. Of course, what is possible for alterations can set limits based on preferences. My question is whether a zip fly trouser can be altered to button fly.

Thank you kindly for your time and assistance for my curiosity question.

This can be achieved, but there's a couple of "depends"

#1. It depends if you have any extra fabric. If so, no problem.

If not:

#2. It depends if you do not mind the fabric on which the buttonholes will be made is from a different fabric.

If you do, then this alteration cannot be done.

Hope this helps

That helps greatly, thank you kindly Mr. Logsdail. That certainly brightens my horizons.
