Smitty VS. Mizuno Pants

[Umpiresrock74]

Hello Everyone, was wondering if anyone has experienced wearing the new Mizuno umpire pants, and if so, how they compare to Gerry Davis and Smitty.

 

Thanks,

Well, you get a saddle seat whether you get base or plate on the Mizuno… They are very dark, flat front.  The material is thin… thinner than Smitty, but I don’t know about Gerry Davis.  For the price point it’s a good pant. I would say it’s a good summer pant for high heat.  The belt loop that goes in between the ball bags is a little off center… I had to remove them and reposition them. Lucky I own a sewing machine… But don’t tell anybody I own a sewing machine. I have a reputation to protect…..

Neither, heather gray pants from the post office uniform store, $22. Sure, I look like a lobster with my plate gear on, but the store hems for $6 and these things last and are more rugged then a pair of 1974 Wrangler jeans

yes, on 25th & Leavenworth. The have post office uni's, police, sheriff, etc. My umpire belt is a utility belt for  cops, and over 25 yrs old and still looks new. Solid craftsman ship.
