Staple guns are okay as long as they are not below the belt.

I wear the hidden tailor. Never had any problems with it. I can't see myself changing anytime soon.

I was the same way with pleated pants and I would not ever go back to flat panel pants now.

Therefore, what is the official position by your CIAC on belts in your state?

I think that the official position for pants is the lower half of the body!

The CIAC (our state high school sports governing body) doesn't take an opinion on pleats versus flat pants, and neither do our state, and local, IAABO boards. It's left up to the individual choice of each official.

IAABO international did make an unannounced change last year regarding belts: The approved official uniform established by the Executive Committee of IAABO shall be: 1) Long black slacks (beltless and not tapered). (Page 2 of the 2014-15 IAABO Handbook)

Subsequent to IAABO International's change (above), my local board voted (unanimously) to amend our local constitution to read: Article 15: 1) The uniform shall be in accordance with that approved by IAABO, State Board, and (local) Board with the optional addition of an American flag on the back of the shirt - center and one inch below the neckline. An additional option will be that belted slacks may be worn, and if worn, the belt shall be black.

Billy:

Okay. Do you wear belted or beltless and if you wear beltess, what kind?

Does the whole crew have to be the same?

And please tell me that patent leather belts are verboten.
