Smitty Long Sleeve Vertical Stripe Umpire Shirt

Like all the Smitty shirts this one is also a good quality shirt. My problem with this shirt and the reason I have given it a 2-1/2 rating is the sleeves. The sleeves hang very loose and since they have no stretchy cuff the sleeve length is too long for my 33/34 shirt sleeve length arms. I am planning to take it to a tailor and have either a stretchy cuff added or have the lower sleeve altered to make the fit a bit tighter and better at the wrists. But my question is why do I have to spend that extra money?? Smitty should take care of this issue as I know this has been a complaint about the shirt for a couple of years - just put the ribbed cuff back on the shirt. Oh well - I still like the long sleeve shirt for those cooler days that you don't need a jacket so I put up with these things.

I have both Honig's black long sleeve and Cliff Keen navy long sleeve. Honig's buttons small and cheap, length not as long. Cliff Keen material extremely stretchy light. I really like Smitty collar is bigger than Honig's and material length, buttons far superior. Of course I use with long sleeve undershirt in cooler weather.

A nice umpire shirt for the cooler games. This shirt is very comfortable compared to the older style long sleeve shirts that I had. I go back and forth on whether or not I like the open ended sleeves...sometimes it's nice to have the freedom there but the cuffs do look a little more professional I think.

Ump-Attire.com did a good job getting me the shirt. I needed a long sleeve shirt because the weather has been garbage lately. The Smitty shirt is kind of thin compared to all my Honig's shirts, but Ump-Attire.com has this great magnetic lineup card holder and I really wanted that so I added items to help with shipping. If I was to do it over again, I would just would get the Honig's version.

This umpire shirt is a quality shirt, except for the open ended sleeves. I am going to get my tailor to add elastic in there, so it will look more professional.

Just what I wanted for those cold days and nights behind the plate and in the field.

Very comfortable and breathable. I actually like the open cuff. It doesn't restrict and lets air flow in when the temperature jumps up 30 degrees during the course of a day here.

Did not like the sleeve cuff, open ended.

Purchased at end of season, looks good so far. Lightweight. Only issue, cuff on bottom of sleeves, loose fit. Myself with a previous LS style, prefer elastic cuff. Excellent price point though.
