I am pretty sure the jacket we received is a base jacket. That is why there is no pocket. I have seen guys in the past that had the base jacket with the white stripes with no pocket.

Elastic bottom = base jacket
No elastic bottom = plate jacket

However, the no elastic bottom/plate jackets run VERY big. I don't like them. I use the elastic one, tuck it in, and carry my lineup card holder in my ball bag or back pocket.

The jackets are shorter in the sleeves and tend to run a bit smaller
The jackets feel thinner and much flimsier; the collars are like paper

I bought one in January and sent it back straight away for the same reason.

Someone I know did just that. He Emailed Honig's a polite but firm Email listing the complaints that I and others here also have experienced. He was able to return his polo blue shirt for the next size down, even though it had been embroidered with the MCL logo on it. He said he received an apologetic and explanatory Email from Bill Hoseney of Honig's.

As far as the jacket, when I asked him about this, my colleague told me, "I can't see what I can do about it. If this is the only blue-striped shoulder one they have, I'm stuck with it." He does agree with me and those here who believe this made in China jacket is noticeably different, and not in a good way.
