jatres1 First and foremost just want to say hello to my new family, i'm new to the site and excited about my upcoming season as a high school official in the state of south carolina just got wind of being assigned my first ever varsity game and i'm already nervous 🙂 i was wondering if anyone out there knew of a website that sell the beltless pants for a reasonable price, i'm still on a j.v. budget 🙂 ...thanks
JRutledge Gerry Davis Sports Purchase Officials (likely cheaper These two places sell Sansabelt brand pants. These are the best pair of pants on the market. You are not going to save that much money. You work one game and you will be able to pay for the pants (usually). Peace
refnrev Watch this Summer for Purchase Officials sales. I got my Sansabelts for 29.95 Sansabelts are very good, but a lot of guys swear by Hoenigs, Cliff Keen, and the Smitty's, too.

What are you trying to say? 😀 😛 I agree. I got some spare pants from Purchase Officials for dirt cheap over the summer. But, if you can't wait, then I would suggest Honig's or Between The Lines. http://www.honigs.com http://www.btlofficialsgear.com

I got my coat there. A snap broke. One phone call had me a new one in a couple of days... even before my old one had time to get to there...and they added the IHSA logo for me. Obviously I never order from Honigs so I can't spell it... and no I haven't been hanging out in the 'hood" or listening to rappers lately.
jkumpire If you have the time and are interested, you might want to look on ebay for pants. I have found several pairs of Cliff Keen beltless pants for a low price. Do a search for "referee" or "basketball referee". It might save you a few $$.
Back In The Saddle You can sometimes get them at local department stores or men's clothing stores too. Depending on the price, it may be equivalent to what you'd pay with shipping added on. Plus you can try them on, and often get them altered for free.
Rizzo21 Just get a tall garbage bag with a drawstring, poke two holes, jump in and pull tight (tuck the drawstring inside to avoid any fashion faux pas).

Then a snack-sized ziplock bag will usually do, as long as you get it taken up enough. 😀
jatres1 🙂 Thanks crew for the information, i think i will lean towards the summer sales at the websites you'll recommended 🙂
