I once thought the same, in fact I believe I have mistakenly said exactly that on this forum before. But that is only partly true. Trevino made Valle's "Patriot" Line of gloves, which aren't really offered as a line anymore. Valle might have a couple leftover somewhere, but other than that Valle is Valle.

At one point Trevino and Valle had a working relationship. Trevino was making a "private label" glove line for Valle. As of this reply to this post, they no longer have a business relationship.
We sold some Valle gloves for a time. I've never had a problem with the Valle company. John Valle is good to go as far as I'm concerned.

Why is he not able to sell the same (custom) gloves for $200 that are offered for $160 (incl. shipping) by milocoman with a different logo?
Also, if you look at John's site http://www.vallebaseball.com/Custom-Baseball-Gloves-by-Valle-Pro-Baseball-p/vp_custom.htm you'll find:
"Our Price: $269.00
Email me a better price"

I am in rochester, ny for the holidays, and got a chance to visit John's new showroom yesterday.
Hey told me he used to have some gloves made by Trevino, but since, "hes learned a few things about Trevino" and stopped getting them made form him. (huh?)
Also, all of his gloves are Philippino -made now.
I asked about the possibility of getting a mesh-back custom glove. He said he would let me know.
Finally, the quality of the gloves were OK. He also had some Mizuno Pro's and Allstars in stock. To be honest, his leather was ok, but the leather and the cuts of his gloves were not close to the Mizuno Pros, Allstars and even the Classic Pros.
His prices were kind of steep to. Unless you want something super-unique, for quality and cost, you would be better off with a custom SSK, Rawlings, or Mizuno from customgloves.com
John is a nice guy, and it was really cool to see his gloves. If he was able to sell a custom for 200$ it would be worth it. 269$ not so much
