has anyone ever taken a glove with vinyl piping that they really liked and had the piping replaced with leather? i dont think this would work really well with today's gloves but some of the older gloves made in japan might be of high enough quality to warrant the cost. i know i had a ted williams glove after my a2000 got stolen (thank you very much martin grey of chicago, illinois) that i played with from 8th grade through grad school. it was a great glove except for the piping that broke down in the later years. i put colored lab tape over the cracked piping to protect the back of my hand but eventually i gave up on it.
is it possible to replace vinyl with leather piping and roughly how much might it cost?
