The 'tan only' guys will hate this

Had to check out one of those Asian 'crocodile skin' gloves for kicks. This black US Steerhide 12" is very well made, takes a little getting used to. Nice and stiff with flawless construction.

how do you suppose they emboss that leather :shock: :?:

there doesn't seem to be a lot of repetition in that reptile like pattern.

What does a glove like that go for? Just curious. I really like the web on this one, nice glove.

the craftsmanship seems amazin on this glove...i wonder if the leather will smoothen out in the pocket area after a couple of hard line drives

Just for the record, I love black gloves too (although I don't own any but would like to). That is, if it is black on black. 8)

Using this "out of the ordinary" glove thread. I have a Trevino glove with real cow fur as accent pieces.

Behold: :?

It's referred to as Gizmo in the store.

We've had it for years. It's been picked up hundreds of time and still no buyer. :(

After seeing the cow fur trimmed glove, nothing else seems out of the ordinary. Just when you think you've seen it all...

I thought you guys would get a kick out of it. Everyone that comes into the store has got to comment on it and some pick it up.

The inside of the glove (where you rest your palm) is ostrich (sp?).

We've had a few crocodile models in the store and a handful of buffalo.
