Referee pants advice

[IowaMike]

I've been a basketball official for 15 years but am having a problem finding decent pants. I lost 65 lbs since last season which of course means all new gear. My old pants lasted forever and were Honigs brand which I liked a lot. Unfortunately they have been out of stock in my size for those pants for quite some time, so I first ordered a pair of Smitty pants from Ump-Attire. Awful pants; the waistband is hard and has absolutely no give. Sent them back.

Next I ordered a pair of Pentagon pants from Honigs. The fit is fine except for one issue; the pant leg opening is extremely narrow and the pants just sit bunched up on the top of my shoes. Annoying to say the least and not a good look.

Any recommendations from someone? My next inclination is to order a pair of Sansabelts from Fifth Region Officials but I'm not optimistic about anything at this point. Never had an issue with any of my old pants.
