Victory Custom Athletics is a Chatsworth, California sporting goods company founded in 1988 with the intention of creating baseball uniforms with extra attention to pattern and design. Operating under the policy that a uniform should perform as well as the athlete, Victory has always emphasized durability, comfort and functional fit in their products. Knowing that the sports uniform business has always been a crowded, Victory has tried to distinguish themselves by focusing on laser-sharp customer service from day one. They also use only the best natural and synthetic materials in their uniform, operating under the mantra a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Victory baseball uniform feature elastic, snaps, buttons, and zippers which far exceed the industry norm. Bar tacked reinforced belt loops, cover stitch and double standard come standard on Victory products.

Victory baseball pants are made in the USA, just like America’s pastime, and because they are factory direct so there is no dealing with a middleman and you will always know where your order stands.

Victory baseball pants come with pro tunnel belt loops, heavy duty brass zippers, reinforced twill tape in the crotch area, cover stitched seams, non roll elastic waistband, nickel plated, reinforced double knees and a lifetime guarantee. Yup, that’s Big League quality.

Victory baseball offers six styles of pants. Clemson cut, old school, low rise, Manny, traditional tapered and vintage.

Clemson cut is more or less their standard pant. It features a leg that runs down to right above the shoe and a hidden stirrup.

It runs $67.99 and Victory will also sell you the stirrup and sanitary required to pull of the look for about twenty bucks. Low rise is basically just the Clemson cut with a low rise waist and it costs $79.99.

There haven’t been many women baseball players since the demise of the All American Girls Professional Baseball League of “there’s no crying in baseball” fame. But that doesn’t mean women shouldn’t be on board with the latest in baseball fashion.

A baseball cap is always a good accessory on a young lady. And a colorful baseball tee is a great way to display feminine style. Many fashion mavens predict in 2014 the baseball jacket will be in vogue for both men and women. So any fashion forward gal should think about adding a baseball jacket to her winter collection.

There are many different types of baseball jackets for women. There are lightweight linen jackets which feature a solid color and then the signature striped trimming of a baseball jacket. Other women’s baseball jackets are made of leather, and have a baseball jacket’s traditional color block arms as well as the telltale trim. These heavier jackets can be quite expensive but, then again, fashion isn’t cheap.

But perhaps the purest of the woman’s baseball jacket would feature a wool body with leather color block arms and then the trim. This is commonly called the leather sleeve baseball jacket and is sold by retailers such as Nordstroms, Bloomingdales and Macy’s.

Another great place to look for Women’s baseball jackets is amazon.com. Just type “Women’s Baseball Jacket” into amazon’s search box and see all of the different baseball jackets that could soon be in your wardrobe. Isn’t technology grand!

There is always a debate, when buying women’s apparel, if you should purchase online or at the store. Buying online is more convenient and often cheaper.  But spending your money at an actual store allows you to try the clothing on and see how it looks on your body.

When buying a women’s baseball jacket the debate is no different: Would you like it to just show up at your doorstep? Or do you want to go to the store and see how different colors compliment your eyes and skin tone and different sizes adjust to your shape? There really is no perfect answer.

But no matter which way you chose to buy a women’s baseball jacket once it is yours you will find it is the perfect coat for a night at the ballpark or a night on the town.
