Smitty MLB Replica Convertible Umpire Jacket - Black

First of all, the service from Ump-Attire is 2nd to none! Have purchased many items from them in the past and I'll continue to do so. I wear this jacket a lot! In fact, this is my 2nd one of these that I've purchased. You definitely need to size down for the bases as it's cut for having a chest protector underneath. Because of its versatility (sleeves on or off) and it's lightweight, it's my go-to for most of my games during the summer time evenings.

I have to report that this is the first product purchased from Ump-Attire.com that I'm not totally satisfied with due to the material of the jacket. I understand the price point because of the removable sleeves. I also want to indicate the drawstring adjustment does not remain fixed when I wear the jacket as a true pullover without tucking it in. I really appreciate the two part jacket with removable sleeves but hope Smitty or another company can develop the same idea with a more quality material and closure to adjust around the waist. This may cause the jacket to increase in price but I would be willing to pay for top notch material like the poly-spandex umpire pants. Thank you for the incredible customer service and top of the line products that Ump-Attire.com continues to make available to all officials.

Great umpire jacket. Very lightweight and looks professional.

This umpire jacket is perfect for the warmer climate we have here. Warm enough for the early season chill, but cool enough to wear at the end of season night games.

Nice jacket. Received promptly.

Love the umpire jacket. Light weight but insulates you when it's cold and love that I can take the sleeves on an off especially because of how this Florida weather changes. Have not used the majestic so I can not compare it to it but this is a great jacket for me. Have not had a chance to use it in the rain yet in a game however I did test it myself in minor drizzle and did pretty good. I do wish there was also a inside pocket for it is raining to keep paper dry as the front pocket can let water in and runs down off you shoulder.

Love this jacket. Use it all year round. Perfect for the Pacific Northwest. Wear it behind the plate sans uniform shirt never overheat.

Just what I was looking for in a jacket. It does seem to run big, so I had to return and reorder a smaller size. Love that I can tuck it in if I want. Removable sleeves will be nice when I just want to keep from getting too cool. Looks great w/o sleeves too!

Great umpire jacket, stops the wind and rain from getting to you while looking professional.

Just what I needed! Well constructed and designed to!

Very comfortable and breathes very well. Looks very professional.

Great versatile base jacket. Vented back is also a bonus. Would recommend this jacket to any umpire.

This umpire jacket is comfortable and looks very good. It fits over the gear well and kept me pretty warm in 35 degree weather in spite of feeling relatively thin. It does not breath as well as I'd like, however, as I ended up relatively damp after a few innings.

Looks very professional!

Material is thinner than the previous convertible jacket model.

This is the perfect all around jacket. Great for cold, wind or rain. Fits perfect over plate gear and has a clean professional look!

Absolutely love this umpire jacket! Lightweight breathable and works great over chest protector or without.

Jacket is fine. My advice is order down a size. I think it's a big cut.

Have two of these pullovers. Perfect weight for spring and fall games.

I love this convertible umpire pullover. It's sized correctly and at a great price point.

Absolutely love the jacket, the sleeves come off easy. I wear this jacket on the bases on cool nights and look sharp. Just another great product from a great company.

Love this jacket. It's light weight and perfect for cool or windy days. It's a little difficult to put on over a chest protector but once on it fits perfectly.

This is a great convertible umpire jacket when it is too cool for a short sleeve shirt and too warm for a jacket. I took the sleeves off and have never put them back on. Comfortable with a good fit. Like it.

Perfect for bases and plate. The removable sleeves are easy on and off. The convertible jacket looks sharp. No issues with the style or material.

Similar to the beloved Majestic jacket. Jacket runs large just like the Majestic. Different material same style. Hope there's a version 2 coming out!!!!

It's a nice convertible umpire jacket. There is only one major difference that I noticed that I didn't like. The collar on the Smitty jacket is a little tighter than the Majestic when completely zipped so it feels like you are getting choked. It may be because the collar on the Smitty is a little bigger. The material is a little different as well but it does the job.

Not near as good as the older Majestic umpire jacket. Material has more of a plastic feel to it. Very stiff feeling.

Wow, I really didn't know that Majestic has discontinued this jacket and now it is made by Smitty. Still looks like a great jacket. Sorry to see Majestic discontinue the item; always found them to be of very good workmanship and sharpness in looks; not saying the new model doesn't give that same appearance, just love the Majestic brand.

Love the Smitty Convertible Jacket and it is all any of us would need to wear...love the extra length at the back to ensure it won't "pop" out on you during the game...wore it with some Majestic guys and they didn't know the difference.

The material is not even comparable to the Majestic. It is better than nothing that's about it.

I loved my Majestic all black pullover, but when they stopped making them (big mistake), and heard about the Smitty umpire convertible, I was somewhat leery, but I decided to give it a shot. Its actually very comparable to the Majestic. The material is a bit more of a sleek look, but if your crew wore the Majestic version and you wore this, no one would be able to really tell a difference. For $50 its worth it. It fits true to size also.

I had the chance to connect with Jim at this weekends NCAA clinic in Nashville where he had the Smitty pullovers available for try on in sizes S,M,L. In the Majestic I wear a size M, which fits me slightly big. The Smitty size M was a perfect fit. The arm pit measurement of the smitty was about 24" (pit to pit) and the majestic measures 25" for the same measurement. The smitty M also in my opinion had slightly shorter sleeve length which for me was a perfect fit. It is definitely sized for the plate so If you are ordering it just to wear on the bases. I would size down from your base shirt size.

I love this convertible umpire pullover. It's sized for plate gear, so if you only want it for bases be sure to order a size down. It's more sturdy than the Majestic. It's comfortable. If you want something like the Majestic, this is definitely the same if not better. Highly recommended.
