# Bloomingdale's Closure or Fly & Closure (Women's Jeans, Women's Pants & Capris, Women's Shorts and 1 more) Field Guide

> "Button fly, zip fly with button closure, hook-and-bar, etc.
Location: Front, side, etc.; call out asymmetric
Concealed or exposed?"
 Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

**Closure or Fly & Closure** is a required feature bullet on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's bottoms department. It states how the garment fastens: the type of fly or closure, where it sits and whether it is concealed or exposed. Bloomingdale's builds the on-site bullets from this value, so it appears in the details section of every pants, jeans, skirt and shorts product page. A women's bottoms listing cannot be submitted from Osello until the field has a value.

## The rules

| Rule | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Required | Yes |
| Maximum length | 254 characters, spaces included |
| Form | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Level | Parent listing, one value for the whole style |
| Department | Women's bottoms |

The phrase is built from these parts:

| Part | Options | Include when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Type | Zip fly, button fly, zipper, buttons, snaps, hook-and-bar, hook-and-eye, toggles, tie, wrap, buckle | Always |
| Location | Front, back, side; call out asymmetric placement | Known |
| Visibility and extras | Concealed or exposed, adjustable, detachable, storm placket | Stated in the source |

A garment with no closure is "Pull-on styling". When the source says nothing about the closure at all, the department defaults apply: denim and structured bottoms take "Front zip fly with button closure", tailored trousers take "Front zip fly with hook-and-bar closure", and knit or stretch bottoms and leggings take "Pull-on styling".

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Front zip fly with button closure | Good | Type and location |
| Concealed side zipper closure | Good | Visibility, location, type |
| Front zip fly with hook-and-bar closure | Good | The standard trouser closure |
| Wrap closure with tie belt | Good | Covers a wrap skirt |
| Asymmetric front button closure | Good | Calls out the off-center placement |
| Pull-on styling | Good | The correct value for no closure |
| Zipper | Weak | No location or fly detail |
| Easy to pull on and off. | Weak | A sentence with a period |
| Front zip fly, brass hardware in the dark wash | Weak | Describes one colorway |

## Common mistakes

- Leaving the field blank on leggings or pull-on pants. "Pull-on styling" is the value, and the listing will not submit without one.
- Writing "button" for a jean that has a zip fly and a single waist button. That is "Front zip fly with button closure"; "Front button fly" means a row of buttons in place of the zipper.
- Skipping "concealed" when the source states it. Visibility is part of the definition.
- Describing hardware color or finish. It varies by colorway and the bullet is shared by the whole style.

## How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Closure or Fly & Closure as a required parent-level text field capped at 254 characters. When a women's bottoms listing is filled in, the AI reads the product description first, then the attributes, then the images, and writes one phrase with the closure type, its location and, when stated, its visibility. If the source is silent it applies the department default for the garment type rather than leaving the field empty. The value is written once per style and shared by every size and colorway. Because the field is required, the listing shows as not ready until it has a value; see [required fields and listing readiness](/help/channels-listings/required-fields-and-listing-readiness) and [custom instructions](/help/ai-prompts/custom-instructions) if your brand prefers a different default.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Closure or Fly & Closure required for women's bottoms on Bloomingdale's?

Yes. It is a required bullet in this department, and Osello will not submit the listing without it.

### What do I enter for leggings or pull-on pants?

"Pull-on styling". The field is required even when there is no closure, and this is the accepted phrase for it.

### Should I say whether the zipper is concealed?

Yes, when the source states it. Visibility is one of the components Bloomingdale's asks for, along with the type and location.

### What if my product data does not mention the closure?

Osello applies the department default: a zip fly with button closure for denim and structured bottoms, a zip fly with hook-and-bar for tailored trousers, and pull-on styling for knit or stretch bottoms. Override it in Osello if the garment is built differently.
