umpire pants used in LL World Series

[JeBa]

Does anyone know what brand / model of umpire pants they are using in the 2018 Little League World Series?

I like the Smitty Poly Spandex pant material from Ump Attire....(I have a pair of the plate pants).
However, the crotch is very long & the waist tends to rise high into my mid section.
The pants worn by the LL World Series officials seem to provide a better fit - visually.

....maybe I'm just too short

I have submitted your question to @maineump.  Will respond when he does.

They have been the supplier for quite a few years now if memory serves.

FWIW, I also found Honigs pants (I only ever wore the polywool) to have the same issue. Especially the plate pants.

thanks guys..must the short height factor .

I've previously only worn Fechheimer, their waist rode a bit high too....but not as much as the Smitty poly spandex

I haven't seen a "low rise" option lately in any style of pants. Might be a good question for @MadMax. Time for a 'bespoke" umpire shop if you are willing to pay "bespoke" prices. I would say that the money you pay for quality clothing pays off in comfort and longevity, aside from changing styles.

SO we can count on you to "test drive" the new GD poly spandex??

@JeBa, I prefer the term "vertically challenged".
