I have been noticing that pants zippers are getting shorter and shorter. I’m sure it must be a cost savings attempt but even a pair of shorts from Columbia have a very short zipper. Most recently a pair of pants my wife got me at Costco have a zipper that’s barely 4 1/2 inches long. A normal pair of pants has a zipper of at least 6 or 6 1/2 inches length. Sometimes difficult to extract stuff when necessary if you get my drift.
