Belt or no belt?

Also, for the record, when I became a registered official I stopped at a sporting goods store in search of "referee's pants." They didn't have any referee's pants, but they did have something called "coaches pants."

Rarely will you find officiating equipment at a sporting goods store. Yes, you'll find a few items but not quality products and not in much quantity.

Curious, I went to Honig's wbsite and looked for black belted pants. I found two SKUs, both of which are being discontinued. I think there's probably a statement there.

I'm also curious as to whether those that wear belted slacks work with partners who were beltless. Comments?
