Actually pleated would be the "look of the day"...flat front is something out of the 70's, which can be cool if we are talking about The Eagles or Kansas, but not clothes.

I agree, pleated pants are *today*, just like throw-back uniforms are popular *today*. They are designed to keep us boomers in the comfort zone.

Pleated. Beltless.

Purchase Officials has a good deal on Sansabelt pants (their Smitty brand is actually Sansabelt) for $39. You can get a pair of the pants and a shirt for $54.

This reminds me of why a dog is hotter in summer than in winter...in the winter it just has a coat, but in the summer, it has a coat and "pants."

I hope the Kansas remark was about the group, not the state! Our officials wear overalls! Seriously, pleated is the more professional look. And stay away from courderoy (believe it or not a guy showed up at a JV game like that. White shoes too).
