MTD speaks the truth....his Mrs. is a wonderful seamstress. When you buy a pair, have them shipped directly to his house. Send him your measurements and your Visa number and she'll fix ya right up.

I have always had good luck with Honigs and I let them alter them before shipping. Again, I have never had a problem with the quality or hemming.

I've used this site and they actually called me with questions to make sure everything was correct. Excellent customer service!

REFEREE PANT

ok "DDN" i will chk out this site, and refer other companion refs to it; we all struggle with looking tidy in our pants. I've seen some guys wear the elastic bands to keep shir tail tucked in--heck I know of a few guys who tell me that their shirts are also altered to fit "slimmer/tighter". I'm frequently adjusting my re-tucking my shirt tail in and pulling the cuffs off up on my shoes--heheh. I shall chk that web for info...

The slits in the cuff are called a "V-notch" hem. It gives the pants a little cleaner look.

I have seen that before and never liked that look. But then again that is my opinion but I do not see many with that hem on their pants.

My wife appreciates your praise but only Torch gets a cut of my profits, .

Buy them un-hemmed and take them to a tailor and bring your court shoes with you. That way you get a well fitting pair of pants that drape properly over your shoe resulting in a crisp, sharp look.
It's not that expensive, plus it's tax deductible.

Other than sock stirrups, this is the best thing I've found so far to keep your shirt tucked in:

Undergarment Sport Belt, Umpire, Referee, Sports Uniform Shirt Stays Alternative

I always have my pants altered locally and they look great...at least I think they do and have never been dinged for my appearence is an evaluation.

As for keeping the shirt tucked in nicely...I got into the habit very early of wearing black compression tights after seeing an official in a varisty game slip on a wet spot and split the seam in his pants. For the rest of the half he kept flashing hints of skin and tighty whities. Taking the approach it is better to learn from the mistakes of others I bought two pair the next day. Tucking the shirt into those tights keeps them in place.

Why bother with pants at all? Just wear the tights!
