    a) You're the one who 'made up' the whole lesser quality/inferior statements, in this thread I said that the Rawlings pro dept. says that 'sample gloves' are not pro dept./PI gloves. b) I could care less about what you 'think' about the info. You're just so insecure, that you have to have...

    Yup, I'm the bad guy for passing along info from the companies involved, Wake's the bad guy for trying to hook up GW members and posting up an honest review, Mason's a bad guy for posting up honest info and an honest review... only Augie's got the straight story, because that's the story he made...

    LOL... then carry on, Augie... say whatever you like. This is why the glove reps stopped posting on the forums... they'd post up some info, and invariably someone who thinks he knows better than the companies themselves would cry that he's just a company shill, and he's lying. That's why...

    Yup, you can either believe the pro departments of the glove companies involved (who you seem to think sit around making up random stuff, just to pass the time of day), or 'stuff Augie thinks to be true'... seems like common sense isn't on your side.

    LOL... how was your trip to the Philippines in 2003, when you were watching these gloves get made? I forget, was that while you were the Rawlings factory supervisor, head of the pro dept., or when you were supplying them with their leather?

    The brown lacing that matches the Pittards lining, really sets these camel PP's off... should look really nice with the chocolate.

    Definitely agree, but generally the minors would be the first time they were offered some kind of deal... sometimes it's a paying contract, and sometimes it's the ability to order their gloves for free. LOL...

    LOL... guess you've never heard of a retail custom (both the 504 and 1781 are available as retail customs). Why do you think so many 1781 'sample' gloves became available on eBay, immediately prior to Wilson adding the 1781 to their retail custom program? Plus, not all sample patterns, leather...

    LOL... because an eBay seller says so? Rawlings' pro dept. considers them sales rep sample gloves, many of these gloves are used as retail samples (in other words, they never go anywhere near a MLB spring training camp) these gloves used to get a pinky stamp that identified them as 'sample'...

    BTW... even the seller mentions it's a sales rep sample glove in the listing... "This glove is a sample taken to spring training by a Rawlings sales rep. Professional players tried it on and maybe caught a few balls. After trying on a series of gloves, they placed their orders. So it is...

    Told him what the glove is. The only thing more arbitrary than eBay pricing, is eBay listings/descriptions. If you think eBay sellers are a better source of PI glove info than the Rawlings and Wilson pro departments who actually take PI glove orders from pro ballplayers for a living, knock...

    pro preferred 125th limited series (horween)

    The chocolate Horween that the pro dept. just got in, is awesome... stiff like the dry tan, but has a softer feel almost like a kip PP. The 125th anniversary chocolate Horween is 'pull up' leather... beautiful looking leather, no doubt very stout, but like most pull up leathers is going to be a...

    Awesome SHA|DO... the kip leather on the SHA|DO Elite J is insane. Incredibly light, and it feels like the leather you'd expect to find on the seats of a $200,000 car. I think that model's listed as 11.75"... is it true to size?

    A2K OT6 came today + thoughts

    A friend at Wilson checked with Aso, and that's the same answer he was given... they're made out of the best 5% (specific sections of the hide, that yield the best quality leather) of their Pro Stock steerhide.
