STEP 1: SELECTING LEATHERTo make the game's best ball gloves, you need premium leather. Our Pro Stock and Pro Stock Select Leather comes from the most consistent and high-quality hides in the world, giving you a durable glove with great feel and a perfect break-in. |
STEP 2: CUT LEATHER"p" Our craftsmen place the cutting die into the leather and use a hand-operated machine to cut all the pieces that will ultimately come together as a ball glove. The position and direction of each cut is a crucial part of the process. |

We ensure each and every hole punched in the leather is clear for the next steps in the process, namely the lacing of the glove. This also helps prevent creases in the leather, giving the finished product a smooth palm. |
