didn't have time enough with Robby on this trip. Got some quick answers.
1. All Horween leather glove? Yes, that is being taken under consideration.
2. Mike line of Kip Leather gloves? likely no. they've go the tan leather gloves out though
3. Make an AMG175 in Bloodline or Kimera? Probably not, this 175 has been around for nearly 30 years. Not as popular a pattern as others in Nokona line.
4. Limited edition line of Buffalo Leather? Possibility on that. 2009 will mark 75th year for ball gloves at Nokona and company is planning a line of limited edition 75th anniversary gloves. That sounds exciting.
Nokona has long been experimenter with different hides and mixing the cowhide with Kangaroo leather for different purposes, durability on the front and light weight and suppleness on the back. Hence the Kimera and Bloodlines (not necessarily to compete with Rawlings Primo) line, a weight and design for each position on the field from 2nd base to outfield.
Finger stalls smaller in Nokonas? Robby says generally they're comparable with the competition.
In the Nokona FP (fast pitch) series for ladies, he says, "we do use a padded Coolmax to make them a little smaller."
Took my digital camera up with me and the battery went dead before I could get inside the plant.
We HAVE revised the Nocona History book project and I'm working on that as I write.
