Charcoal gray v heather gray

[bob jenkins]

Either will fade depending on the specific brand / year (different materials and dye lots even within the same brand depending on who / where they were really manufactured)and how they are treated.

Umpires who hang pants from a bar in the backseat of a car without covering the pants with a garment bag (or the like) and then complain about the pants fading are getting pretty much what they ask for.

The GD pants are, IMO, the best pants made for umpires. I've not used the polywools from Honig's, but their non-polywools (the step down from them) are complete, unadulterated garbage, IMO.

My umpire pants are either being worn in a game, in a garment bag, hanging in my closet, or in the laundry. The fading is not due to laundering, drying, etc., since the color behind my ball bags and behind my belt looks like new. Three out of four of my currently in use pants are Fechs, the other is Cliff Keen.

No, but they fade more when they aren't kept out of the sun when not wearing them.

Like others, I've had no fading with the GD pants.

Does that include GD heather grays? The Fechs I have seem to fade worse than the CK.

Does GD make heather grey pants? I wouldn't buy anything but charcoal these days.

I have two pair of GD heather grey and they are just as good now as when i bought them.

At Rangers game last week and the umpires wore the new "polo" blue shirts with the heather grey, - looked SHARP!

And they did a great job that night also ...

Thanks
