Wahl Glove Repair

I had a quick turnaround repair job this week! Finger lace broke and needed it back before the next weekend.

I also gave this leather a clean, condition and oil. We tightened up the other laces too. That’s how you keep a glove in working shape long term. Great time of year to protect these investments. If you spend a lot of money on an A2000, for example, take care of it and it will last you forever. Off season is the best time to care for the leather to make sure nothing dries out and snaps unnecessarily. Take care of your glove, and your glove will take care of you.

I had a great time repairing and bringing this 30 year old glove back to life with some new two toned laces. The black and tan laces on the traditional leather really pops.

After a few months of “Hey, I need this back tomorrow night before 6:00” — we have officially hit the season of “Take your time, I don’t need it back for a couple months” and “I got a glove I need to get to you”

I hate when the season is over but both have steady gloves coming through. I will be able to post more before and after photos of these projects.

Thanks for sending me your gloves and it’s time for me to get to work.

Lefty Magic! Another edition to the black and yellow color combo! The colors pop!

Season is in full swing! Let me know if there are any repairs you might need.

Easter is just around the corner! How about an all PINK relace? I think it came out looking really good and I made sure to get some more of the same color in stock.

Good luck this season!!!

National Sibiling Day! (So Facebook tells me)

Two Gloves. Two Brothers. Color zip ties can show them which glove is which or a splash of white used in different ways can too. Both got a clean and replaced faux leather lacing with some high quality leather. These gloves have some new life.

I have used zip ties to fix a glove between innings and seen many others temporarily fixed the same way. Use what you got to get by, then get it done right!

Another project of a HOH Rawlings leather from decades ago that got all new laces because of thinning to get ready for this season. Proper color on one of these gloves still gives it the timeless look and feel, and this father gets to watch his son use his "old glove" when he plays.

Out with the old (blue) and in with the new (yellow)

The black and yellow color combo is nice. It pops!

I am trying to take a few more pictures during the process to give some ideas to what all is involved. This one shows the amount of lace in a glove. It takes between 4-5 full 6 foot length pieces of leather to restring a glove completely. Add an extra 1-2 for a trapeze web, catchers glove or first baseman's glove.
