old button down shirts
 

Hey!
I'm trying to find where I can get some of the old shirts (albecos I think) for my crew in a few weeks. Honigs doesn't carry them any more, and if honigs doesn't carry them, I'm sure +POS or GD wont. So, does any one know where I can happen to find some?
Thanks!!

They are called Elbeco. You can find them here..... Elbeco

I'm certain you can no longer purchase those from +POS . :rolleyes:

The Elbecos I had were not button downs. If you want to go retro why not bowties with white shirts and suit coats for the crew vs. Elbecos?

They are still used by the US postal service. Ask you letter carrier or find a local uniform store.

Sure you can, they are on backorder.

Awsome!! Thanks. And I asked about using real retro with the bowtie, sport jackets, bennie and all but the other two wouldn't go for it. We do have the bubble in our office and one of the guys used it last summers in a select ball game. I'll look at those!
Thanks!!!

There always seems to a few on eBay at any given moment. Don't overpay for these things, as they go for just a few bucks. I've got a couple in my closet, but they have my league, a LL umpire and an American flag patch sewn on them.

Yup, I was right. There's a bunch on eBay right now. Just search for "umpire shirt".

What's a bubble?
 

How does an umpire use an office bubble?

a bubble is the old baloon...the outside chest protector. we have one in our office that one of our guys used in a summer ball game last summer.

For one of the local Community College's annual Alumni game, the 3 of us who work it wear Hawaiian shirts. It's not retro, but it's fun -
