If you umpire long enough, you'll buy the Honig's/Hardwick pants, as they are the standard. It's just a matter of when, and how many other pants you purchase in between.
I would welcome changing the notion that dress pants should be the standard for officiating anything. IOW, I think football has it exactly right. While the PW pants look great, nobody would argue that they are especially comfortable. My football black pants are INCREDIBLY comfortable.

And I say that with 4 pairs of polywool pants sitting on the desk in front of me awaiting the tailor.
