Shirts

I have several of the OC shirts and they are fine. They may not hold up as long as higher priced shirts but at that price I can afford to replace them more often.

Why not just buy quality shirts and not replace them as often?

And who the hell wants a polo blue ball bag?

What he said. I made the Official's Choice mistake once--never again. They still send me emails, and those are good for a chuckle.

The same people who bought those 2-tone +POS bags?

I went to an association meeting a few weeks ago and someone was selling a navy jacket. I needed one, tried it on, and it seemed to be pretty good quality. It's from OC. My opinion hasn't changed on it yet.

But the story of how I ended up with it is pure "OfficialsChoice." Guy ordered one, they charged him for 2 and shipped 2 to him and wouldn't pay for the return shipping. He sold the second one to me for $35.

Now that I've read this thread, I have a sneaking suspicion: Let me look at it next to a short sleeved one that I just got from PurchaseOfficials.

Oh, wait. The OC's jacket's stripes are all wrong. Wrong width, wrong colors (just barely, but I can tell), would only completely match someone wearing the same jacket. Figures. Now I'll have to order a jacket from another place. I should've known better.

BUT, if any of you don't care about that kind of thing, PM me and I'll sell it to you for $25 shipped. I'll eat $10 + shipping for my own stupidity. Size XL. I'm a L and the jacket feels about a size too big, so I'd say it runs true to size compared with Honig's and the Smitty jackets.

Their stuff is okay IF you're outfitting a whole bunch of guys, AND the shirts are $10. That's what I did. My park was fully stocked with navy, but I wanted polo for hot days. I bought a bunch, and it's worked out fine. They do run huge, and are built for "square" people, but for my situation it's perfect.

I do love the long sleeved black shirt of theirs. Again, they were $10. They're silky smooth, fit nicely over plate gear, and look sharp.

Now, they don't match other makers, so I can't use them when working outside my little circle of umpires. But for certain circumstances, their stuff is fine.

Would I buy their pants? No. I'm a Honig's polywool convert

Jackets? No.I like my +POS.

Now, if they made a $100, black plate coat..............maybe.

But geez, some of the stuff they come up with. It's as if the only taste they have is in their mouth.
