There are a lot of umpires who tell me how much they like the coat, but won't pay for one for themselves. They'll earn $300 in a weekend umpiring college games, but won't invest in a coat. Whatever.

I have jackets and I have worn them on the plate, but nothing compares to having a plate coat.

Same here. I use mine all of the time. They look good, feel good, and are very practical. Rich, you have about another four weeks of coat weather up there, don't cha?
I've worked 17 games this season, 10 plates. Wore the plate coat for ALL TEN. Seven on the bases, six with a jacket. Yup, wore short sleeves once since my first game on 3/31. No game today or I'd be in sleeves -- it's 75 degrees right now at 2PM.
