There are many different types of slacks. The Sansabelts are very nice. Honig's makes a nice slack too. There are pleated, non-pleated, western pockets etc... I would get a cheap pair for starters in case you do not like officiaiting as much. That way you haven't invested alot of money in it. I go for comfort!!!!!

As far as shirts go, Most officials are wearing a collarless v-neck. Honig's make a nice micromesh shirt. I prefer to wear a shirt made by Dalco Athletic. It is micromesh and a little thicker than the Honig's shirt.

There are a number of different shoes out there but it all depends on your foot. It also depends on how much you want to spend. I purchased a pair of Nike Shox R4's a few years ago($130) and This year I purchased the Ken Griffey's by Nike ($80). Both shoes are nice and conmfortable (check out eastbay.com, they usually have alot of all black shoes that many officials wear) Go for comfort!!!!! The National Federation Officials manual says that the shoes must be ALL BLACK so I just purchased some black shoe polish and covered up the tiny grey swoosh. Polish your shoes before you go out on the court! It looks alot better than a pair that aren't!

You will go through the trial and error phase for awhile until you find some pants, shoes and shirt that makes you feel comfortable.

O, one more thing. When you get started, carry both a white and black undershirt. That way if your partner wears a white/black t-shirt underneath, you will have one to wear and you will look like a team out there.
