All I can say is they're great! That's the most comfortable I've ever been on a football field. Nice and roomy, no elastic cutting of the blood flow to my calves, and very warm. We had a stiff wind blowing all night yet my legs never felt it.

I'm sold!

This was our 6th varsity game in the pants tonight. That means we've worn the pants (6 times) more than the knickers (5 times).

Almost 70 tomorrow. I packed the knickers and short sleeves for our 1:30PM kickoff.

All of our games are at night. I don't think I'll be seeing the knickers anymoe this season.

last year I bought pants from a local supplier who comes to our chapter meeting. The brand name is Holloway. Polyester coated with acrylic. Zipper at the calf and drawstring waiste. The leg inseam were really long and the alteration expensive because I wanted to preserve the zipper. This year I bought Honigs. Belt loop waist and no zipper. Although Honigs site advertised inseam cut to length for $10, they called and said all garments were 36" inseams. My local seamstress hemmed these for $6 Honigs are far superior. No need for me to shop further.

Wore our Honigs pants last night. Best thing to happen to officiating in my 54 years of calling football.
