Eastbay Custom Glove Questions, Doc?
Posted: December 13th, 2008, 2:00 pm
I PM'ed doc about this, but I never heard a response. I figure he is busy and that other people might be able to help me out anyways.
I am a senior in college with only one year of competitive baseball left to play. I figured what better way to top it off than with a new glove.
I am considering ordering a custom from Eastbay, and I have some questions. If I understand correctly, if you contact Doc on these forums he is able to do some custom things that aren't offered to the general public. Here are my questions:
1) Is it possible to get the glove in brown/tan leather? If so, what type of tan are we talking about here? Is the very dark, oiled tanned? Or is it lighter color, such as the color of many of Don Morton's Horween gloves? Does anyone have an Eastbay custom in brown that they can take a picture of?
2) Is it possible to get a meshed back now, or at any point in the future? I know that Rawlings is releasing their meshed back line sometime in the Spring, but that might be a little to late for me... [EDIT] To clarify I am talking about a Eastbay Custom with mesh backing, not retail. Sorry if that was confusing.
3) Is it possible to add a wingtip?
4) This was talked about in another thread, but just to clarify, doc can ditch the rectangular Rawlings logo on wrist for a large oval one (similar to Tim Lincecum if I am not mistaken.)
Thanks for your input guys.
