Nice job of dealing with the leather tears at the heel of the glove. I don't know if any pieces were missing there but you joined them together nicely. I also like the thin fairly tight piping. It fits with the age of the glove. Did you hand sew the crescent pad? It looks like you used the original stitched holes.

Thanks, Mike. Yes, the crescent was resewn by hand. It would have been too destructive to try to use the machine. The piping was a really nice match to the original which was almost entirely worn through. The cuts along the heel were a shame but they were at least clean cuts, likely from a razor, and they came back together nicely.
