I have a closet full of the Cliff Keen, Smitty, and now a couple of the new MLB Majestic shirts. All very good quality, many have lasted for many years and dozens of games and requisite washings.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of guys in my association who love to talk about the cheap Officials Choice shirts they got for $10, and then a) never match in color or accent striping and b) complain about having to buy new shirts every year because they "fall apart."

Two words: Caveat emptor.

I was a Cliff Keen fan for many years. until our state's "preferred" provider started carrying mostly Smitty. With the connotation that the name "Smitty" carries in umpiring circles, I was quite skeptical.

However, I was pleasantly surprised that the shirts are of equal quality to CK, and hold up very well.

I wish their plate pants were cut a little fuller in the legs. I wear large shin guards, & can't "pull over" the pants.

Majestic, Smitty, most Honig's, Ump-Attire....all of them are fine and I've never had problems with any of them. I haven't worn Cliff Keen, but I'm sure they're fine too. They definitely aren't the only quality shirt though. The Smitty shirts tend to fit me the best and are the best value IMO. (Around $22 on eBay) I have their shirts in several colors and I like all of them.

Dalco shirts are cheap but they don't fit very well and look cheap too. Same with Official's Choice.
