For me, whatever is on sale will do. Officiating pants are expensive!
I believe that I own a pair of CK, Smitty & Officials Choice. They have all held up pretty well over the years. I think the key is to dry clean vs washing.

I bought a pair from Gerry Davis (at Gerry Davis Sports: Davis Basketball Pants). They are way cool. It's a "hard" waistband that is adjustable. Best fit I've ever gotten, and they look sharp. The inseam is longer than usual, meaning you aren't wearing MC Hammer pants on the court anymore. I love them, plus they are a bit lighter, and breathe better.

Repeated dry cleaning can be harsh on clothing though I'm not sure if it makes a difference with the type of material that most pants are made of. A wash in cold water and hang dry have always served me well.

You're not supposed to stone-wash them.
My have been through the normal laundry ever since I started. These pants are near bulletproof. Dry cleaning them is a waste of money. Even if it extended the life of the pants a bit, it would be a false economy as you could replace the pants for less than dry cleaning them for even 1-2 seasons.

That being said I would hope a pair of pants last longer than 2 seasons at the very least. I have pants I have had for much longer. Peace

I sweat. Most people sweat....even those that don't think they do really do. My pants get washed after every date of games. They'd stink if they didn't get washed. That means 30-40 washing per season. In the wash, that'd cost about $1-2 for all of them (they're washed with other items) vs $60 for dry cleaning the same number of times. These pants can easily handle 40 washings. You could buy a new pair of pants each year for those savings....and not have to drive to the cleaners. Even if you only washed them every few games, the economies are the same, just stretched out over time. It is cheaper to wash them and buy new ones when they wear out. These things are permanent press...as long as you take them out of the dryer when it buzzes, they'll look like they were pressed.
