2018 1799

[chavist93]

So happy to see this one in OT.

 

[bimmerpilot]

That looks good

 

[huntaholic21]

That looks like the same color way as a dp15 I saw a while back.

Sharp looking glove. Wilson is coming on strong with their 2018 releases.

The 18's look nice the 13.5 has the 1799 web/ h-web

Bump...Has anyone had a chance to check out the new OT 1799 for 2018? If so, how does it (and the leather) compare to the SP125 in terms of thickness, build quality, etc.?

I saw someone relaced one in tan lace on ig. Looked very nice.

Yeah saw that too. I had one of the blonde 1799's last year and really liked it, might have to go check this one out in person.

If I have time I'll swing by my local shop today check it out if they have one.

Cool thanks. Also thinking about the PRO1000SBF as an option...just want something to use as a softball utility glove. Don't get out much anymore but my Bryant is a little small for utility duty.

Anyone else bothered by the change at the base of the web? It just looks less clean to add those holes and have extra lace with another knot.

I wonder why they would have changed that?

Me. The blonde 1799 that I had last year only had the one lace.

I think they changed it halfway through last year's model year as i've seen some of them and the HR13's with it and some without.

There was another thread discussing it I think it was something to do with saving lace...less scrap.

I've always heard about the 1799s notorious 6 loop handstall and it was always a deal breaker for me, but my rv23b has a huge handstall but the rest of the glove fits great. I think of the label side of the handstall is cut close to the heel side then the 6 loops shouldn't be an issue.

How are the finger stalls on your RV23b?

very snug, makes the large hand-stall an after thought. Which is why im so picky about the finger stalls over the hand stall.

So I went to check this out today...it's a nice glove. Didn't love it though. Usually when I make a trip to look at a glove it comes home with me.

I don't actually mind the extra lace, but the grey logo and black lace combo...ugh. The person on IG that relaced in tan knew what they were doing.

I haven't had a chance to go look yet, but if you factor in the relace, you might as well just get a custom.

Yep especially up here in Canada there's a ~$50 difference between a retail a2000 and custom hoh.

I do like it though...and have no idea what leather I'd do on another hoh custom.

 

[Felks32]

So I went back and bought it. I'm weak.

I plan to make this one my gamer. It doesnt look like it's ever been touched by human hands. It's 99% as stiff as my SP125 was. Smells amazing too.

I'll add a review later... pics:

It's going to look good with tan laces. While you're at it you can add an extra hole to tighten up that hand stall. It's super easy to do and you can get a leather hole punch from Amazon for like $10.

so pretty; did Wilson rises their MSRP price from $249 to $259 on their A2000 line?

 

[CircleL]

Felks you want to trade the 1799 for your SP125 that i have?

LOL so that's where it ended up. No thanks. Gonna give this a go.

All good you know where to find me!

 

[Legend 94]

Did you pick that up at HR Sports Mike? I missed out on your SP125 - keep me in mind when this one hits the market... LoL

I really dig the glove, but the extra knot on the web drives me nuts. I'm curious as to why they omitted it from the A2K version.

 

[pkc31887]

has anyone tried relacing it using one piece of lace and just having the two strands of lace coming to that new knot cross each other and continuing to the base. Hard to explain but instead of a knot there, it would just be a piece of lace going out of the one hole and back in on the other side and one piece could just run underneath. It sounds like it would work, you wouldnt have a knot there, and the base would be just as sturdy.

That wouldn't be hard at all. The holes are so close together that it would hardly be noticeable.
