Pleated or flat front pants?

[flyjetz]

I'm a first year official and need to purchase some pants for officiating bball. I personally prefer flat front but have read that most wear pleated now. I would love any advice on that question along with brand and vendor suggestions. Thank you!

Most officials wear pleated. Check your local association.

Have your even ran for two hours in a pair of dress slacks?

That's why pleated is preferred. More room, more freedom to move.

It is a personal preference of course, but I do not see why anyone would want to wear flat front. I know some that do, but not the most preferred pair of pants for sure. Flat fronts are so rare that when I see them I notice.

It should also be added for anyone buying pants that while belted pants may be ok in some areas, beltless pants are usually the advisable way to go.

Beltless pleated.

I will give up my black belt when they peel my cold dead fingers from around it.

How is that working out for you?

And don't forget your white socks.

Are you selling these pants or something? Don't bump old threads.
