No zips. Ever. Someone suggested laces, which is excellent. Arthur may well have tried a pair of trousers with a zip once and someone needs to write about what happened with that and why he never did again. There's a reason there are no more Weasleys after Ginny!
Magical zippers, obviously! They were invented long before the Muggle version, never break, snarl up or lose teeth, open and close themselves, and are never left open by mistake. Such questions you ask!
OT: a few years ago, you were shocked to be told that British TV had a ballroom dance competition whose judges were as rude as I ever am as a critic. Now that you live in the country, you had the opportunity to watch it (Strictly Come Dancing). Was I exaggerating?
Yeah, but even technically speaking... zippers are such... mechanical little critters. I can understand the principle of spelling cloth to stick together unless it's wanted to open, but that would implicitly negate the need for a *zipper*?
While I recall endless conversations about rudeness, I fail to remember that particular dance competition comparison... But even though I live in the country, I don't have a TV (not my drug of choice in the first place, and then TV Licensing pissed me off too much for words...). Even if I had one, I prefer to get my brain rot from porn, not *that* sort of poison ;).
