Do they look exactly like officiating pants bought from a supplier? You know, black pockets, pleats, etc?

For years I wore Honig's pants and I switched to Smitty from Purchase a few seasons ago. They are good pants and getting them hemmed is as easy as going to a local dry cleaner (although I have someone in-house to do them for me).
