Pleats look better on everyone.

Well considering that most pants do not look that way of any kind. Flat fronts look like the guys that are in the movie of Donny Brasco or Goodfellas. It is just and old and outdated look.

Outside of sports officiating, pleated pants are most definitely not the "In" fashion trend.

Kinda like when officials also wore the old coach's shorts during the summer ... can you imagine someone wearing them today?

This is absolutely true.

Note, however, that 'flat front' in men's slacks does not necessarily translate to "flat." Non-pleated pants can and should still have a crisp crease.

I don't have a gut so I don't wear pleated pants. I know a lot of guys that don't have pleats, I also know chapters that require pleats. Personally I don't like them as I think they look worse than flat front pants.

I think some of you are spending way too much time staring at the front of other men's pants.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Especially flat front beltless pants. That went out of style in the 70s.
