Honigs shirts

[zm1283]

Did anyone else buy new Honigs shirts this year? I got two of them (B12 model number on their site) and feel like they are junk. I got the same model a few years ago and the material has changed and is already "pilling" after a half season of use, the fit is not the same (very square fit, not tapered at all), and the black side panel stops at the arm pit and doesn't go all the way down the sleeve like every other side panel shirt I've had.

Not for basketball but our football association switched to a new style this past season and the shirts we got from Honig's are pretty awful. Piling very quickly, snagging easily and the fit also seems off. Sounds like they are using the same material and patterns across their product line.

I haven't ordered any this year because of the problems I had last year. I went through 3 different sizes and styles to get one that worked. I ordered an XL in one of their styles, it felt like a M. So then I switched to a different style and figured I should order a XXL. I was swimming in that one. So then I went back and ordered an XXL in the original style, that one fit but it too had quality issues.

I am back to wearing 2 shirts that I have had for a couple of years now. Whats really frustrating with Honigs is the cost of shipping per item each time you have to reorder.

I've had nothing but praises for Referee's Call out of Oklahoma City.

I can't get my IAABO stuff from them, but I buy literally everything else from them.

Them and http://www.ump-attire.com are where I try to buy everything.

It's been a few years since I purchased them, but my Ultimate Referee shirts from ump attire have held up well especially since they are also made with performance material.

I ordered a couple before the season and don't like the neck opening...it's too big for my liking. Way too much of my black undershirt exposed.

It doesn't bother me that the wide panel stops at the underarm and doesn't go into the sleeve.

Smitty is my favorite and will be what I order in the future.

Smitty. Only problem is that it doesn't make my muscles look bigger.

I am going with Smitty from now on. Honigs changes suppliers often it seems just to save money and it shows.

Does anyone know what Smitty shirt the college officials wear that has the "S" on the back under the neck line? I don't like the open hole mesh type shirt. I like the smoother, silkier type material.

Mine does not have the S, but I ordered from ump-attire.com and got this:

BK-209-S Smitty "Elite" Performance Interlock V-Neck Referee Shirt with Side Panels $24.99

It is the smooth material--100% polyester.

I never used anything but Cliff Keen and I love them. They fit great. The material holds up and lasts. A couple I have had a few years and worn many times look like new.

I would recommend them.
