Under your plate coat
What do you wear underneath your chest protector when wearing a coat? I assume a navy blue long sleeve sweatshirt would be acceptable? I have never worn a plate coat so this is new to me.

When I owned a plate coat, I wore a navy short-sleeved T-shirt under the protector. It really doesn't matter, as the protector is all they're going to see anyway, since the coat is buttoned.

Seems like the Smith and Wesson Model 29 .44-caliber Magnum revolver would be a good choice. Go ahead Coach. Make my day.

Hey all,

How about anything that Tackleberry from the Police Academy movies would carry?!?!

I like the mock turtlenecks, so the collar on the jacket doesn't rub. Navy or red work for me. I've got long and shorts sleeves, but here in San Diego it has to get pretty cold to wear the long sleeve with the wool Fechheimer.

The lycra shirts are great, but there is a downside. They stink after you sweat. And that funkifies your wool plate coat. I use cotton with coat.

A friend of mine wears a powder blue turtleneck OVER his cp, and it looks quite snappy. Sounds goofy, but he's the best dressed umpire I've ever seen.

p.s. I prefer the Sig Sauer .40, with a custom underbelt holster.

Call me old-fashioned, but I would go with the MAC-10 with a M4 Load Bearing Shoulder Holster.

Well, it snowed here a couple weeks ago (first time in years, Los Angeles too). Is that cold enough? It has gotten down to the mid to high 20's overnight here the past few weeks. Not as cold as when I lived in Illinois, but quite chilly indeed.

The SIG is a fine weapon. MAC 10 can cause a little too much collateral damage for me. It's a little hard to pick off individuals on the bench, but it's great for clearing out a bleacher in short order....

( This is totally in jest, for those who are uncomfortable)
