Lookin' for new pants

[Vinski]

Thanks for the replies. After viewing this thread as well as others, it appears that Honig and Cliff Keen have the strongest following. Of these two, does anyone have an opinion as to which might be a bit better than the other?

Whichever one ends up being cheaper.

Is it just me or am I the only one that's not a big fan of pleated pants for reffing?

Refnrev will agree with you, he's about the only one though.

That’s very surprising to me. It seems as though all of the officials in my area wear flat front pants.

I would think that the pleated versions would tend to bulge up.

Pretty much the opposite in my area, pleated is the correct way to go. I never figured out why heavy guys with guts always buy pants two sizes too small. It just emphasizes their gut.

It may emphasize their gut, but at least they stay up! (the pants, I mean) ...and our association voted (yes, voted) to go with pleated fronts as our standard uni.

Not true... I like pleats... I just don't like beltless. They never feel like they fit right. Didn't say I wouldn't be wearing them.... just don't like them.

I wear the pleated Sansabelt ref pants, or the pleated Cliff Keens

Next pants I get will be Honigs. I'm really disgusted with the Sansabelt pants. Mine have wrinkled like hell and lost their crease after about 20 washings.
