Hank, in all serious now. I don't know your financial sit or even your umpire aspirations but spend the money and get a coat made for you. I know they are expensive, but nothing looks worse than a modified suit coat. They stand out. If you are doing upper level ball, invest a few game fees to this cause. If you get a black one, you'll only buy it once and it will last forever. I bought a custom GD plate coat in the early 90's. I only wore it a few times and now navy is out of style. Since I live and umpire mainly in SoCal, we just don't have the need for one. Even when I travel up into Utah, Oregon, and Washington, I find the Honigs coat plenty warm for games when I am on the dish. Just my dos pesos.
