Belts
Have used the rubber hidden tailor belt for last 5 seasons and thinking of going to the shirt stay with stirrups.. Belt helps with not only keeping shirt tucked in but keep my pants up... does the shirt stay also help with keeping pants up??:confused:
|
I wear the belt to keep my pants up and blousing straps (purchased at military clothing sales) to keep my shirt down.

I used to wear the rubber belt, but I'm pretty skinny and I found it tended to ride up my waist, which after a quarter or two rendered it useless (I constantly had to push my shirt in on-court to keep it from coming out).
So I switched to the shirt-stays, and considering that I am in the military, I'm surprised I didn't think of that sooner. They rub on your legs a bit, but that's not something you notice until after the game, and after a few weeks your skin gets used to it. They are AWESOME for keeping the shirt smooth and crisp looking. One obvious downfall: they don't work in the summer. Shirt stays and shorts are not a good mix when you're trying to get a job at a camp. :D |

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

Billy: Whenever the question of belts comes up, I usually tune it out. I admit that I was someone of a hold out on wearing beltless pants only changing to them in the late 1990s and when I did, I wondered why I didn't change to them sooner. 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? MTD, Sr. |

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. MTD, Sr. |

I wear belted pleated pants for my high school varsity games. I wear belted flat pants for my Catholic middle school games. I don't care what type of pants my partner wears. There are absolutely no guidelines from the CIAC, IAABO International, IAABO State, or my local IAABO board, requiring that both (Connecticut is a two person state for almost all games) officials wear the same type (pleated, or flat) pants. Same thing for patent leather versus matte shoes, absolutely no guidelines, both officials can have the same shoes, or each can be different. Officials can work without a lanyard, with a noose lanyard, or with a Smitty lanyard, absolutely no guidelines that both officials hold their whistles in the same manner. Local guidelines dictate that both officials must either wear pregame jackets, or both will not wear pregame jackets (both must be the same), if, for example, a jacket is accidentally left at home. |
