Rich Fronheiser (a semi-regular here) will tell you that pleats are the only way to go . . . personally I am a flat front guy.

BTW, HONIGS stocks ONLY pleated pants in their blend pants.

3300 posts makes me a semi-regular?

Prunes make me semi-regular. Who is "Andy", by the way?

I also prefer pleats at 6'3" and 180lbs. I find flat front pants allow "other things" to be a little more out there than I would like on a baseball diamond especially with a cup underneath.
