Pleated or flat front pants?

Thanks for all the great advice. Where do you all get your Sansabelt's from?

Only place that still carries them that I know of is Officially Sports in Pittsburgh.... www.officiallysports.com

They cost a few more $$$ than the "Smitty" pants but well worth the price

Gerry Davis Sports and Purchase Officials Supplies both sell Sansabelt pants. I am sure there are others, but these are the two I have used over the years.

Just because no one has said flat fronts, that is what I wear. I see it as more of a fashion thing. I haven't worn a pair of pleated pants to my regular job in probably 8 years. So I'm definitely not going to wear them on the court. Whatever pants you wear, just make sure they fit you properly. Anything overly baggy looks awful, throw in pleats and it doubles the effect.

That's where I am on this. I only have pleated pants - and they've been tailored to fit. Even so, they feel "blousey", if not sloppy, in the front.

I've been wanting to switch to flat front primarily because they would look better. Seems like they wouldn't restrict movement either if made with the same type of fabric my pleated Smitty's are made from.

What brand of flat fronts do you wear, bg99?

I personally wear pleats and think they generally look nicer, however, I work with a couple shorter officials who wear flat front pants and I think they look much better on them than the pleats due to their height. Just to give reference, both of these guys are shorter than 5'10" and in decent shape. If this is you then you may want to at least try on a pair of the flat front pants just to take a look.......
