Please ditch the blue pants

[Dakota]

Well, I thought the orange jump suit comment was the most interesting in this thread so far, but since it keeps going, here is my .

The western cut pockets may look better when in the set position, but the pockets themselves are not useful as, well, POCKETS! Too hard to get stuff in and out.

ASA's "official gear" plate pants (Fechheimer's) are much too generous in leg room. They are elephant legs. I suppose you could find some leg guards that would need that much room, but not any that I have need it.

ASA's "official gear" plate pants rubberized strip at the waist is ineffective at keeping the shirt neatly tucked in. I still have to use the separate knobby belt.

Cliff Keen's combo pants (pleated) are just about right in roominess for plate duty. Still look a bit too big for base use, but will do. The internal strip is wider than the Fechheimer's and does a better job of keeping the shirt neat.
