Anybody bought a shirt made by Smitty? I'm generally scared away from brands other than Honigs or Cliff Keen since I have seen them in person and put them to use.

Are these equal shirts at a better price or that cheap stuff that you look past when umpire vendors come to town?

With all of the different color options in the closet I'd like to see the new shirt prices come down a bit.

One of my partners had one of those. The mesh is "larger" than that of Honigs or Cliff Keen, meaning the "holes" are larger. They kind of advertise this by calling it "mini-mesh" while Honigs and Cliff Keen call theirs "micro-mesh".

How did it look? Good collar?

Cue all the replies about getting what you pay for, but I really think the price on our shirts is high.

To me, the large mesh and the collar made it look cheap, like something a "smitty" would wear.

Perfect. Just what I needed.

I'll stick with my Honigs shirts then.
