Just went thru this drill

I got a couple of shirts from OfficialsChoice because the price was good; however, don't be in a hurry. It took slightly over a month to get my shirts. Like BITS ( you really live in a PINK house!?) I like the new fabric. The sizes seem to run a little small. My XL is probably closer to a Large. Even though in almost all T-shirts I wear an XL, if I had it to do over, I'd order an XXL because these are just a bit tight. I got some Sansabelt slacks at a local clothing store and really paid thru the nose for them! I'd have been much better off ordering them online and having the length sized once I got them. I guess it would depend on what your local store charges for them. This was the only store in the Metro area that carried Sansabelt. I think Honig's has them as do a couple of other sites. They do run true to size. I don't like any beltless slacks. I prefer a belt. I just feel more secure that my pants aren't going to leave me exposed at some point. However, we seem to be hanging onto this beltless thing - not sure why. They don't look any better and are sorely out of date, but I guess we are stuck with them.

Good to know. The ones I have from a couple of years ago run large. I was considering ordering more, but in a smaller size.

I had a not so great experience with the Smitty shirts in terms of sizing. Some were a size small, others were 1.5 to 2 sizes small.

Purchase Officials did, however, make good on it and sent me more shirts to try without charging me. I ended up sending them back due to the inconsistent sizing.

I have several Smitty shirts (6 or 7 I think)....no issues with the sizes. You must have caught a bad batch.

Thanks! I've looked for "The Ref" Patent by Reebok since last year. It's discontinued so no one else has it.
