Since my 2nd year, I have worn nothing but Sansabelt pants. And I still have pants in tact for those 10 plus years. I have only had two pants ever fall apart and those were 10 years old easily (and I have gained a little weight).

You wear them at the same time? :D

Other posters have said they were "thinner/lighter" but jees wearing 2 pair at once to make up the difference :D

Guess I'll find out soon enough, I couldn't pass on the $20 special.

So my order FINALLY came in & I agree that the pants material is much thinner than my Cliff Cleen. That might be a good thing for me since I sweat a lot . The legs do flare more (bell bottoms) but it’s nothing my tailor can’t fix.
Even though they hit me over the head for $14.95 s&h I still think I got a great deal... if they hold up for a few seasons. Time will tell.

Do you guys/gals get the boot cut heam?

I’ve seen some officials with like a 2 inch slit at the bottom to make the pants lay over the shoes… have any of you seen this?

Do you all wash & dry or take your pants to the cleaners?

Thanks for the tip Peach State Ref!

$14.95 shipping? What else did you buy? I posted a new thread about how outrageous their shipping is. They want $11.95 for two shirts.

Boot cut hem? No. My Sansabelts are regular cut. The "bell bottom" cut looks ridiculous. I've seen guys around here with it and it looks bad. And no, I would never cut slits in my pants so they lay over my shoes.

Wash and hang dry then iron. Going to the cleaners is unnecessary.

I wear two kinds of pants -- sansabelts and sansabelts. Any questions?

Spend the money and get Sansabelts. They'll last longer and fit better.


OC was the first to sell the long sleeve powder blue umpire's shirts, and I bought two, and they are of very good quality.

Mesh shirts are nice, but OC pants suck. IMO the best pants are Sansabelts with cliff Keen a solid second. Honigs fade but fit and hold up well.
