Drifting further OT for this thread...

Personal style comments only:

I would never buy an adjustable hat for umpiring, unless there was no other choice. Heck, I even bought a fitted Twins hat to wear to the games!

Now, wade, if you're going for the trucker-red neck look, the adjustable strap doesn't do it anyway. You'd also need a white mesh back and a higher blocked front...

I much prefer the look of pleats to the straight front style and the usability of traditional pockets vs. the western cut. If you're (speaking to ASA HMFICs) that concerned about white pocket linings, have the pants made with gray linings. I don't understand your issue with pleats at all. And Cliff Keen has a better, more rugged clasp design and a better waist band than Fechheimer, too. I have no problem buying from ASA Properties on price, service, or product in general, but I just don't like your "official" choice in umpire pants style.
