If you are willing to accept notes from girls too...
I've owned Nokona gloves in both the kangaroo and buffalo. I also have owned Mizuno, Rawlings, and Wilson gloves in cowhide. I can honestly say that the Nokona buffalo is the best glove I have ever owned. The leather is soft and supple, but I haven't had problems with floppiness. Rather, the leather seems to fold around the ball perfectly. Any misplayed balls have always been the fault of the operator, not my glove.
This amazing glove is buttery soft, with a gorgeous butterscotch color exterior and a golden soft interior. The smell of it, the feel of it, the look of it, I truly believe my glove is flawless. The brown laces also finely complement the caramel color of the leather – which is a perfect match for my camel leather purse and suede jacket. Not that the glove is used at the same time -- I just like the purse and jacket because they remind me of my glove! Don’t ask which came first, I would hate to be known as the girl who bought a purse because it matched her baseball glove (although I did).
To sum up, I read a quote somewhere, "If it sounds kind of mystical, wearing a buffalo skin to ward off evil, it is." That completely applies to the Nokona buffalo gloves.
P.S. I'd like to subscribe to the newsletter -- I used to subscribe and like a dummy, let my subscription lapse. If I renew now, will it be in time to get the issue with this article re: the glove leathers?
Alas, my glove is better than my game.
