They look like normal snap buttons. What is the magnet even for?
Because as we know, shirts and other layers falling off our bodies is a problem we all face. And what we need to solve it is an over-engineered button.
I think they were trying to make changing the kind of clothes you are wearing fast. But thats just another non-issue that is not encountered by the average person.
It's like they didn't understand that snap buttons already snap together and come apart easily. Also if you're gonna wear a jacket over the vest, you don't even need them to connect to each other. It actually makes putting the stuff on and off more tedious.
I've recently heard that every artist goes through a "too many buttons and zippers" phase but this is ridiculous.
I just love this age of not solving any problems but, in fact, making more.
