Great comments. Thanks! Like I said, pants are a sore spot and as my son was thumbing thru the many baseball magazines we get, he saw one player who had altered the bottom so they fit over his cleat. No elastic. Kinda like a bell bottom. So...there I am with my sewing machine trying to copy the pants in the magazine. I thought maybe if he saw it in "real life" he wouldn't like it...darn it, he loved it. I was his "hero" and now he wants all his pants done that way!!! (I think I've created a monster)!!
He's gotten some positive feedback from other players at the various camps/showcases he's attended wanting to know where he got his pants!
I do not like the pants hooked down under the cleat look, ruins perfectly good pants.
