email sent. |

| Wow, I had heard they were going to start selling them hemmed, I am glad I got my son the unhemmed ones before the change. He is much too tall for the average length. I would try online, and see if they are sold in multiple lengths. |

Yes, we had the same issue. I took them to my dry cleaner and asked them to pull out the hem to give me another inch. They had some similar material so spliced it in to give me the 2 inches we needed.
Cost $15.00. I asked the team to short ay the uniform providers invoice by this amount.
The Rawlings pants were not hemmed at all, and could have fit Josh Smith of the Atlanta Hawks, so I had those hemmed as well. $7.00.
Not sure any of this is anyone's fault, but if someone could open a uniform company that eliminated all these issues, they'd be very successful. When you make a special trip to get measured, you expect better than this.

Sorry moser but it sounds like you want it both ways. Unless every kid on the team is the exact same height, and at 13-14 height varies widely, somebodies pants are gonna be too long/too short. If they fit in the waist, you gotta deal with the rest.
Order pants in time for delivery before that first tourney? Kids grow 2 inches and suddenly they don't fit if they are youth hemmed. Adult unhemmed is still too long. I hear ya. But shorting the manufacturer for alterations isn't the answer.
Too much is made about how players look vs how they play. Priorities please. |

| I like it when you do a fitting and everything is perfect then you get them and they are not even the same brand you tried on or not the same pant. If it were me and the pants were too short I would go Cooperstown on them and wear some solid socks pulled up or some stirups. |

True story so learn from it please...or keep complaining once in high school:
Form gets to us from the HS coaches to full in sizing for everything from cleats to hat size. Pants? Under Armour. Size? Hmmmmm. Large I guess.
Pants come in. Little bit tight. Go to store. Buy XLs. Kid wears them.
I don't blame Under Armour.. I don't blame the coaches. I don't blame the process. It's not about the pants or the brand or the color or the weather. . Just play baseball. |

| The last 3 years of my team, I told the parents to go and buy their own all white or all gray pants, brand did not matter. That worked out great, no more complaints of pants being too short or too long. |

| In the UK, pants are underwear. |
