Repairing ball gloves is an art. After twenty years of experience,
there is nothing we won´t do to save your old favorite. Many gloves
just need `fingers, pocket and wrap´ relaced, but we can bite off anything
you throw at us. Here are just a few examples.
This is the palm from a ball glove approximately
30 years old. On the left is what we had to work with, and
the right is what we created. All of our ball glove palms are built
out of horsehide leather. When is this practical? This
can be done to a glove that has little damage except for the palm
and lace, or an antique restoration.
This is the backside of a catcher´s mitt, approximately
forty years old. The external palm was restored, as well as fully
relaced for an antique collector.
Many ball players hate to give up their old favorite,
but don´t realize what can be done. The owner of this glove
thought he was due for a new one, but decided to check with us first. We
rebuilt the top of the pocket (note the darker area), relaced it
and replaced the felt padding in the palm.
This ball glove was found in a field in the rain.
The pocket was missing, lace was old and rotten, and all of
the stich work needed to be resewn. A pocket was designed by
our creative staff, the glove was relaced, stitched, repadded and
oiled.
