Need some new pants
 
Looking to purchase some new pants this year - my old ones are about worn out. I've been looking at the Gerry Davis site and have considered purchasing them - they make pretty good baseball/softball pants.

Also was looking at the new Smitty 4 way stretch pants, but the pics I've seen they don't really look that great.

Anyone have thoughts on them?

I like them. I have 3 pair.

Pentagon pants if you like a tailored look.

I have a pair of Davis pants with the adjustable tab. I can make them fit just right.

The Smitty 4-way stretch pants are absolutely the best pants I've worn. I have bought a pair each of the last two years and might get another couple pair just in case they stop making them. Very comfortable, light, and they move with you. I love them.

Two words: gabardine twill. I personally prefer the heavier fabric, and think it has a better look. I have the Smitty 4-way stretch and they are too light and drapey for me.

I don't love the Smitty 4-way stretch. First, I don't like the non-pleated look. It just doesn't look clean - and I'm thin. The pants just don't look as nice in the front as the pleated to me. The feel of the fabric is weird as well against my skin. I like the lightness of the fabric but I don't like the feel. I wear long compression tights so it doesn't bother me as much as when I wear the compression shorts underneath. I bought a pair of Sansabelt pleated pants and those are ok, but I think I like the regular Smitty pleated the best of all. I just wish they were fitted better in the ass and legs to form better to your body so they don't always look like old man pants.

You should wear these during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner before the game.

That's a great idea for warmups Mark!

We are sometimes referred to as "Stripes". If you wore these pants during a game, they'd have to call you "Stars and Stripes."

Newly arrived today: Gerry Davis and Smitty's. Same problems as with last five pair of pants from various suppliers:
1) Smitty's and faux Sansibelt "rise" is so tall the bottom of the crotch goes 3/4 of the way to my knees. I could be a horse and still have plenty of room. Gerry Davis pants don't have this problem, but . . .
2) When the waist actually fits well the legs are soooooo baggy I could fit another person in there.

Looking for someone who might have the same problems ordering who has found a solution to this.

I'm 5'10", 165 lbs.

Just wish I could find some pants that fit.

Anything?

They offer flat and pleated pleated! I have two pair pleated and love them.
