Does anyone own this jacket?

Is it standard? (I don't remember any side stripes on the MLB ones with the piping across the chest.)



It says the sleeves zip off (to make it like a batting practice pullover). I saw it at our old friends at Official's Choice: CONVERTIBLE BLACK - '2 IN-ONE Jacket' Long Sleeve Baseball Umpire Jacket - 2

Are you ready? ... $27.50

The MLB model does not have white panels on the side, but the sleeves zip off below the elbow like this one does.

I have always thought this type of jacket looked goofy on umpires. They look like barber or dentist smocks.

Easy there, Steve. That's the official official shirt of the Hershey, PA Little League.

Don't laugh. There are two young umpires in the northwest burbs of Chicago (who shall remain nameless here) who purchased these chocolate brown shirts and have used them on the field. They also have purchased and used the burgundy shirts.

They know, however, never to wear these in any games I assign.

But you can only wear it with charcoal pants and chain mail behind the plate:

Unlike the brown, the burgundy actually goes quite well with either of the gray shades of pants now in fashion. I've got one (it's my local LL fields colors), and it's quite snappy.

Embroider a VT on the pocket and it also makes a nice golf shirt. Go Hokies!

I was raised well, and among the things I was taught never to do is to wear a brown shirt or coat with gray slacks. So, out of respect for my upbringing, I guess I won't get to wear the brown umpire shirt.

DAMN!

Honig's has this style of convertible jacket in their new catalog. I won't be buying it from either place because I already have a long sleeve jacket, and I also think the short sleeve jackets don't look that great.
