But seriously as been previously stated whether you choice to pleat or not pleat is a personal choice. I first pleated with my basketball officiating pants and then my umpiring pants went pleated too. I didn't think I would like pleated pants but I think they look better that anything I have ever worn.

It might be a personal choice, but if Honigs only has pleats on thier high end pants, you don't have much of a consumer choice if you're going to use that vendor.

In the last fourteen years the only thing I have bought from Honig's is IAABO products because Honig's is the sole IAABO distributor. Other than that, I do not buy anything from Honig's.

heavyweight poly/wool pants for bases and plate. I also have the 100% poly plates with pleats from Honig's. I also have a pair of Fechheimer 100% poly plain front base slacks. I prefer the Honig's poly/wool pants over all. They are worth the money to me. Yes, they should be drycleaned but they are a superior product. Their weight and drape and comfort level surpasses the polyester in every aspect. They can be washed and air-dried in a pinch. I just cannot bring myself to wear anything made by a company called Smitty. I have to work with enough of them. Just my opinion.

Honigs, IMO is the superiour place to buy most stuff. I wear their high end Poly/Wool pants for baseball, mostly their shirts for baseball, and all of their stuff for basketball. It is the best product out there.

My first choice is: Torch's Referee & Umpire Supplies (http://www.OfficialsSupplies.com), which is the Florida distributer of my second choice: Purchase Officials Supplies (http://www.PurchaseOfficials.com) in Akron, Ohio.
