When this was first mandated, there were not enough pants in the inventory, so umpires who could not get them were given a pass. Actually, I'm pretty sure that issue was raised and posted on this board.

I love it when people complain they don't like the western cut because they cannot put anything in their pocket. Then again, if they are too tight to access, maybe you need to buy the next highest size.
