Honig's Poly Wool vs. +POS Slacks

[twjones]

Several years ago when I first got into umpiring I was told the +POS slack was the pant to wear. I believe at the time they provided the Triple A umpires their uniforms. Although I tried to get these slacks, I was never able to due to the fact they were always out of stock.

Since then, +POS has had their problems and appears to be trying to make a come back.

Now days, Honig's Poly Wool slack seems to be the elite slack to wear.

So I ask you, if +POS would introduce their "old" slack in the same charcoal color as the Poly Wools how would these slacks compare?

I have a pair of +POS's old plate pants I bought a couple of years before they folded up that I wear occasionally that still look as good as they always did..

It's a fair question, but why would I buy what noone else is wearing? ;)

Don't know.

But if they were comparable maybe folks would wear them.

As of right now, the GD pants and the honigs poly-wools are the norm for "elite" pants. You also have Smitty and some others (I believe that +POS has rereleased their pants). The new norm in HS is to wear the charcoal pants and NCAA there has not been anything heather gray for the last couple years.

The Poly-wool pants will last you a while if you take care of them and, at least in the area Im in, are the norm and are the expected.

If +pos reintroduced the pants line in charcoal, I would give them a shot... I was never a fan of the prior honigs pants.....(Poly wools are Fantastic, but pricey).....Cliff Keen has cheapend their pants and I am not thrilled with the Smitty brand.....
