Got news for you partner. Pants aren't going to last that long. You're not wearing these slacks to church. You're running miles and miles in them, sweating in them, washing them after every game. If you're still wearing the same pants in 4 years, you'll look like crap.

I would suggest you rotate a minimum of two pairs of slacks and that you replace them every couple of years. Spend some money, it's tax deductible.

Well, I've been wearing the same Sansabelts for four years. And I look like crap. But changing the pants ain't gonna change that

It's always miffed me how someone can officiate, say at a minimum 50 games a season which is at least 1,500 bucks on the lowside and not spend a few hundred every other year for uniform upgrades.

It's the cost of doing business and have some respect for yourself and how you look on the court.
