I probably would not purchase anything by the Smitty brand, mainly due to the name.

Ehh, no one knows unless you tell them. I got my cream shirts from them and a navy and black long sleeve from them as well as two jackets and I really like all of it.

That only matters if you plan on sewing the label on the outside of the garment.

That is clearly a baseball mentality. Smitty sells other products that work well in other sports. I would think their baseball stuff is rather good. I would not care about the name if the stuff works and is reliable.

BTW, Smitty is the company that makes lanyards and did that first before they ever made clothes.

Peace

I just recently purchased four of their shirts. Compared to my previous shirts (honigs), I would give them an equal rating.

I had great luck with Smitty brand apparel in Basketball. I also have an Umpire shirt and pants and have no complaints so far.
