I have never really liked Honigs striped shirts. When I started (late '80s), they had a nasty taper and not much length. They didn't come out, but they weren't near as long as I wanted. I thought their '90s era shirts were a bit on the small side. When they started making the newer fabric shirts 5-6 years ago, they were a year behind. One of their newer fabric football shirts has a collar roughly the consistency of sand paper.
Honigs has good gear in a lot of areas, but I avoid their shirts. I really like the Smitty product. OC, though pulverized on this forum, has also made a quality product, but they've had some minor issues (zipper on football shirts, over-sized, quality control on a batch). The striped OC side panel shirts from a few years ago are my favorite. Don't know if they make them anymore, but the panel fabric gives, which means the shirt stays tucked in with very little effort and no inside belt.
My advice is to stick with Smitty. I think they will emerge soon as a top tier supplier. Their fabrics are cool, comfortable, and have some stretch in them. For football next year, I'm optimistic they will make a pair of black pants that will be comfortable even in Texas in August.
