Description

By popular demand, Smitty's expander waistband umpire pants are now available as flat fronts with slash pockets! These are the flat front plate pants NCAA softball umpires wanted and  some MLB umpires starting with the 2022 season.

A 3” expander waistband maximizes flexibility and comfort, especially when combined with 4-way stretch poly-spandex material that is breathable, wicks away moisture and moves with you.

Get the same highly-polished poly-spandex umpire base pants in a rich charcoal grey, but now with a waistband that expands 1.5” on each side.

PLate PANT FEATURES

  • Sewn-in saddle seat for added strength to meet the demands of plate work
  • Silky smooth fabric slides easily over your shin guards when you get in your stance
  • Adequate room in knee to fit most low profile shin guard brands and styles

PANT FEATURES

  • 1.5" elastic expander waistband on each side allowing for up to 3" expansion
  • 92% polyester and 8% spandex for an innovative 4-way stretch fabric that moves with you
  • Fabric spreads and lifts moisture from the skin for a cooler and lighter fabric feel
  • Athletic cut for comfort and durability
  • Flat-front with standard slash pockets
  • Wrinkle-resistant fabric
  • Color: Charcoal grey
  • For baseball and softball

CONSTRUCTION

  • Reinforced-stitching throughout
  • Premium quality double clasp combined with inside support button
  • Upgraded brass zipper will hold up better than plastic zippers
  • Detailed matching grey pocket lining and grey back button with loop on left pocket (say "no" to tan buttons)
  • Wide-reinforced belt loops fit all style and size umpire belts and provide the right amount of spacing, especially in the back with adjacent loops evenly spaced
  • Pressed crease
  • Non-roll, gripper waistband helps keep your shirt tucked

SIZING

  • Sized for true fit with no need to size up
  • Umpire pants are unhemmed to allow you to tailor to your specifications

CARE

  • Machine wash cold and tumble dry on low
  • No dry cleaning required

This version of the plate pants are different from previous versions. Myself and others have noticed that the pant leg is tighter in the area where our shin guards are positioned. I take that to indicate that the pant leg in not as wide as it once was and is tighter than in previous versions. I double checked the order to see if these were COMBO pants.

Absolutely love the pants. Durable and easy to maintain. Don’t use any other pants.

This is the 2nd pair for me and the fit is dead on for me. The combination plate/base pants looks great in either fashion, and you can not tell if you’re wearing a plate pant on the field because they blend perfectly for both, unlike the old days where you had to have both styles to look professional on the field. All I have to do is to take them to my tailor and they’ll be ready to go.

Questions About This Product

Q: With the flat front being a new style, is there a difference between the flat front and the pleated front, or is it just a preference?
– Daryl Rogers
A: 

Pleats provide more room in the waist and hip area. Flat fronts, pants without pleats, have less room. Therefore, pleats are desired if you are a larger size frame and/or want more room - as you often need for squatting in and of your stance.
