That's fair enough, Garth. I will say that the material is the lightest I've ever had in an umpire shirt and is durable as He11. One of the reasons you see the extra trim on the shoulder is that the shirt is designed to be a little longer in the sleeves than other more traditional shirts. This keeps the shirt sleeve from riding up on the bicep of someone with bigger arms, keeping the undershirt sleeves hidden. It's more 'roomy'. PM me with a mailing address and I'll ship one to you for you to check out. I already know you don't care for the extra trim design, but you may like the overall physical design of the shirt. Scott's a pretty flexible man, and maybe he can be talked into removing the extra trim's color scheme, leaving it plain navy blue.

I do not think the issue is the type of fabric. The issue is the trim on the arms. The type of fabric can be used regardless of type of shirt. Also I do not see anything inherently wrong with the current shirts. The ones I have fit and feel very comfortable. I am not getting why these shirts are so revolutionary.

Peace
