Lookin' for new pants

[Vinski]

I’m looking to get some new ref pants. Our local store only sells the flat front belt style. I realize that the fashion these days is the pleated belt-less type. Are there any recommendations out there on a good on-line outlet to purchase from? Also, is there a particular brand/model that most are going with?
Thanks.

I've had pretty good luck with Cliff Keen brand beltless, pleated front. I'd try the "search" function at the top of the page to look at some recent threads. Seems like this topic comes up about once a week. Lots of web sites to look at. Lots of opinions about pants too.

There are a number of online stores, you'll get them in just about a week in some cases. Cliff Keen, Honig, Smitty has a new line. I've bought Smitty pants this year just as good as anyone I mentioned above. Here are some websites:

Do your due diligence on what you need..

I've got the beltless unpleated version if you're interested. Honig's (seen here: http://www.honigs.com/detail.asp?Cat=2&Sub=23&Item=147), size 36, 3 pairs for $55.

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?
