Honig's Major League Style Convertible 1/4 Zip Jacket
Meet the Honig’s Major League ¼-Zip Convertible Windbreaker Umpire Jacket, an innovative umpire outer layer designed around changing game-day conditions. Unlike a conventional windbreaker, this versatile Honig’s jacket combines a lightweight, water-resistant microfiber shell with zip-off sleeves, giving umpires the option of long-sleeve or short-sleeve wear in one jacket.
The distinctive ¼-zip pullover design and shoulder stripe detailing provide a professional baseball and softball umpire appearance, while the convertible construction makes it easy to adapt as temperatures change. Instead of carrying separate outerwear for different conditions, umpires can adjust this jacket to suit the game.
Innovative Convertible Umpire Jacket
The Honig’s Major League Windbreaker stands apart from traditional umpire jackets with its convertible sleeve system. Keep the sleeves attached when cooler temperatures and wind call for additional coverage, then remove them when conditions become warmer.
The lightweight microfiber shell provides a comfortable outer layer without the weight of a heavy jacket. Its water-resistant construction also helps protect against light moisture during changing field conditions.
This unique combination of ¼-zip construction, removable sleeves, lightweight microfiber, water resistance, and professional shoulder striping makes the Major League Windbreaker a distinctive choice for baseball and softball umpires.

Why This Umpire Jacket Is Different
Traditional umpire jackets are generally designed for one configuration. The Honig’s Major League ¼-Zip Windbreaker takes a different approach by incorporating removable sleeves into a lightweight pullover design.
That means an umpire can begin a cool morning game wearing the jacket with sleeves attached and transition to short-sleeve wear as temperatures rise. The result is a practical, adaptable piece of umpire outerwear that can remain part of the game-day bag throughout the season.
The shoulder stripe detailing also gives the jacket a recognizable professional officiating appearance rather than looking like ordinary recreational outerwear.
