It's been a while...
Posted: June 29th, 2006, 5:45 pm...since I've found any gloves at all. Today I finally found something decent - I hope this is a sign of things to come.

The glove has a "Double Action Web" and a "Full Back" which are curiously similar to Rawlings "Bellows Web" and "Fast back." With a good cleaning and relacing, the glove should look great - the leather is very soft and smooth! Here are some pics if you care:
