No, No, No, not the button-ups. I still have one in my closet.

I still have two or three Elbeco's.......I liked them for the look. But hated them because they did not dry as quickly as the mesh shirts. I also had to get them starched to look really sharp. But as I said......I did like the look. They were not as good for UTS chest protectors......but they were serviceable.

The newer shirts are also harder to get stains out of.......I spilled a strawberry snow cone on one of mine......and still have a pink stain where it was spilled.

For a typical tournament weekend or a State tournament......I would need about seven Elbeco's.....I could get by with four or five of the mesh.

I do not like the pants offered the last several years though.
