docglov here is my Rawlings PRO-15XOT

[GloveGypsy]

It has a little shelf wear, but I proudly display this USA made Rawlings.
docglov, I am wondering what can you tell me about this 11 inch glove.

I have a couple of these gloves as well. Bought them from Eastbay a few years back at discount "closeout" prices. They were a real steal!! Used one in some games, but saved one in mint condition.

Sooner or later, I will take pics pf all my HOH USA gloves and post on here. I have about 40 of them. 3 are custom jobs.

Hey Boz,
I hope you do post pics of your HOH's.

Pics of hand crafted ball gloves are interesting to view.

sorry slow there Glove gypsy The 15X0t was one of the first models I made for easbay in the mid to late 90's Its actually the same pattern That I had made for Craig Biggio. The actual dies were 10.75 but everyone was afraid to sell any expensive under 11" so there you are. But truthfully a glove can the stretched a 1/4 of an inche pretty eaisly or if you want shorter that can be created in the plant by not ironing out the fingers compl;etely this gives someone like Rocye Clayton a 11.50 and a 12 in the model he likes without having to build from scratch then we are all happy.

To Docglov, thanks for the great reply.

What an interesting commentary. I have always thought the glove measurements were arbitrary and relative.
Do you know what the "15X" stands for?
I have already assumed the "OT" is for Oil Tanned.

Thanks in advance.

We do try to hold to the size I just get carried away with the old war stories when I answer.hey you probably got a grandfather somewhere just like me. the 15 was a unused number in our line and the x was used a lot on new gloves. Xpermental model
