I'm getting to buy a pair of pants..which ones?
I'm going to buy a pair of combo pants before the weekend is done, and I need you guys to let me know which ones to buy. Which online source, which style of pants, etc. should I get (considering current price, comfort, quality, fit, etc...all the factors)?
Thanks! |

I recently bought two pairs (plate and base) of Gerry Davis brand pants from gerrydavis.com...the best money I have invested in uniforms thus far...Great fit, comfortable, look sharp...everything I have looked for in a pair of pants...

On some folks combo pants just don't work. But if you have an athletic build they are a good choice for lots of situations. Combos don't work with folks of more generous proportions. YMMV. |

Bite the bullet and buy plate pants and base pants. Umpires look better in uniforms that fit properly. The Honigs poly-wool are excellent.

I'll give a different take on the combo pant issue. I wear Honigs combo pants as plate pants, and Honigs base pants as base pants. In my experience, the combo pant leg is plenty flared to allow it to easily fit over shinguards (I use West Vest guards), and the Honigs plate pants are so much more flared I feel like I should be singing "Bell Bottom Blues" while wearing them.
But whoever said you need different pants for plate and bases because of the length is right on. If you try to wear the same pant for both, you're either going to be highwater when working the plate or looking frumpy on the bases due to them being too long. |

Me, I like the Honigs combos, 2" over my Levi 501 size in the waist. Remember, you're tucking in two shirts, thus the extra inches. I also like the +POS plate pants. I've got +POS base pants, for those anal assignors, and they look okay. But again, that's me, and not you or anyone else. |

I really can't tell when someone has plate, base, or combo pants on. I guess i'm just not looking hard enough.
The only time someone will clearly notice is if they're too tight or you're wearing sears pants. |

Plate/Base/Combo Pants
Waht if Combo pants fit you very well for working the plate (i.e., with shinguards on)? Wouldn't those look a little better-tailored than plate pants, which have extremely wide legs?
And what if you are going to do a double header at a field/facility where changing out of plate pants into base pants is extremely inconvenient? Wouldn't combo pants help you do your job better by not looking too outrageous (tree trunks) when you end up doing the bases? Mostly a LL umpire here, let the arrows fly, if necessary. |

i have big thighs and i work GD so those two wouldnt work well with any tighter pants than plate pants. the width you get from plate pants is a big benefit, and i dont think it looks bad at all unless they are too long. with the right length, plate pants will come down perfectly at your shoes and they wont ride up too high when you are in your plate stance.
