| April 16, 2021 franjan 22 posts | Belted shorts, my kingdom for a pair of belted shorts Hi---This winter I bought another pair of Easton belted long uniform pants with piping. I am sure at that time Easton offered belted shorts also. I have spent a couple of days on line looking for any manufacturer that produces softball, fastball, or baseball uniform apparel that can be considered shorts with a belt and or pockets. No luck whatsoever! Can somebody point me in the right direction? |

| April 16, 2021 franjan 22 posts | Of course that is always an option, but I am not sure cut down long pants would resemble the looks or fit of actual shorts. Would much rather buy the real thing. |
| April 16, 2021 DieselDan Men's 75 600 posts | I'd say the waist area of shorts are the same as pants, minus the extra material!! |
| April 16, 2021 franjan 22 posts | I would agree that the waist is the same, but I had it in my head that my pants, cut down would be much narrower above the knee. I just looked at the Easton long pants and where I would make the cut is still quite wide. I guess I no longer have a problem with altering a new pair of pants and converting them into shorts. I still would like to buy the real thing if possible. It amazes me that no manufacturer is offering belted and or pocketed shorts. Thanks for your input so far. Frank |

| April 17, 2021 VTuttle Men's 65 8 posts | E-Bay is your friend. I have bought many shorts for softball through ebay (belted and non-belted) over the years. Some of those offering are through sporting good stores online, so they may have access to other types/styles/sizes you are looking for. Good Luck! |
| April 19, 2021 raiderman66 77 posts | Have you thought about getting a time machine to bring you back to the 70's to get them? Sorry couldn't resist.... |

| May 4, 2021 franjan 22 posts | Senior Moments, soory I missed your response. I found a local sport shop that sells what they call Coach's shorts for under $30 which has the look I wanted. |
| June 21, 2021 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | Franjan-who makes the coaches shorts. My last pair is 30 years old and finally falling apart. Thanks.And I will email you also, senior moments. |
| June 22, 2021 Mikelmart 150 posts | Franjan do those shorts come with a lanyard and coaches whistle? That would really complete the ensemble along with striped white calf socks. The 70's live on!!! |
| June 30, 2021 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | Senior Moments-these shorts are great. I bought 4 pair. Thank you! |
| June 30, 2021 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | By the way, these shorts replaced a couple pair that dated back into the early 80's and were still wearable. Senior Moments, I know I will order again around ....oh.....2060 or so when I start playing in the over 110 age group. Thanks. |
