How it's Made

Discover the craftsmanship behind every piece. From selecting premium leather to hand-stitching details, explore the meticulous process that goes into creating our baseball gloves and leather goods. Each step reflects our commitment to quality and durability.

Step 1. Sourcing the Glove.

We start by finding gloves with real character — the ones with stories in every crease. Some come from local players, some from flea markets, some from basements where they’ve been waiting for a second life. Only gloves with strong, healthy leather make the cut.

Step 2. Deconstructing.

Each glove is carefully taken apart by hand. Laces are removed, padding is separated, and the glove is opened up into its original panels. This is slow, deliberate work — the goal is to preserve as much usable leather as possible.

Step 3. Shaping and Preparation.

Years of dirt, sweat, and field dust are gently cleaned away. Then the leather is conditioned using glove conditioner to bring back flexibility and richness without losing its game‑worn character. This step reveals the glove’s true personality.

Step 4. Wet Forming.

Before the glove leather can be cut with precision, it needs to be flattened and reshaped. The glove panels are lightly dampened, which softens the fibers and makes the leather flexible. While it’s still workable, the leather is pressed flat under weight or molded against a smooth surface. As it dries, it naturally tightens and holds its new shape.

This step removes the natural curve of the glove, giving you a clean, even piece of leather that’s easier to measure, cut, and stitch with accuracy.

Step 5. Conditioning.

Before the glove leather can be shaped or cut with precision, it needs to be brought back to life. After the glove is broken down, each panel is treated with a clove‑based leather conditioner. The conditioner softens the fibers, evens out stiffness, and restores the natural oils that have dried out over years of play.

As the leather absorbs the conditioner, it becomes smoother, more flexible, and far easier to flatten. This step removes unwanted curl and tension from the glove panels, giving you a clean, workable surface that cuts sharper, stitches cleaner, and produces a more refined final wallet.

Step 6. Cutting the Pattern.

Once the leather is restored, each wallet pattern is hand‑cut. We choose the best sections of the glove with markings, signatures , or branding and position them so every wallet is visually unique. No two pieces ever look the same.

Step 7.  Stitching by hand.

Every wallet is stitched using traditional saddle‑stitching techniques. This is done entirely by hand using premium thread like Vinymo, giving the wallet strength that machine stitching can’t match. It’s slow, precise, and built to last.

Step 8. Finishing Touches.

Edges are burnished smooth. Corners are shaped. The wallet is inspected for feel, durability, and balance. Some pieces still show glove markings — numbers, brand stamps, or lacing holes — and we leave them intentionally. They’re part of the story.

Step 9.Final Products.

What started as a glove becomes a one‑of‑a‑kind everyday carry piece. Each wallet is unique, each one carries history, and each one is built to last for years of use.

This is more than leatherwork, it’s preserving the game.
