Best bet would be to post pictures of what you've got and general vicinity of where you're located.

I don't think he's in this forum but you can always try Chris at The Glove Lab (theglovelab dot com). He's a fantastic guy to deal with and the quality of his work is well documented. He has a page on the IG with the same name.

Jeffrey Rous has been my go to since day one! It's actually the reason I joined here in 2013, I was looking online for someone to completely service my 30+ year old A2000 XLO and ran across this site. I joined up and inquired about who might be willing to restore it, Rous was the first one to raise his hand!
He's done probably 10 gloves for me (?) and easily double that for friends, parents of Anna's teammates, and who knows how many from the DFP forum that I referred to him?
Excellent work EVERY time, and just a fantastic, all around nice guy!! I blame him solely for the amount of gloves I've bought and the amount of money I've spent over the last decade! I learned a ton about gloves from him, models, patterns, likes and dislikes, history. I wore him out wanting to learn all the glove information I could get! I'm very sure he got tired of me!
At one point in my household.....that Jeffrey Rous guy from Texas.....his name was never to be mentioned!
I knew Dan was out of the game, I met him once here in NC at one of his son's baseball camps, sit with him probably two hours and talked gloves, travel ball, and ball in general. Super nice guy, I really enjoyed that day meeting him! He re-laced the web, web spiral, and fingertips on a brand new Horween NP7 that came with the most horrible laces I think I've ever seen on a new higher end glove! He fixed that problem with some of his killer Tan lace!
It was very impressive watching him lace that glove, I'm not sure he even looked at it while he was working on it, he was watching his son and the entire camp as they were moving to different stations, and talking to me. And he did a fantastic job, just second nature to him, very unlike me!!
That's my only dealings with Dan, but I think he changed the landscape for restoring / re-lacing gloves, he did it on such a large scale for just a one man show, the amount of gloves he worked on yearly is staggering. He gave me some numbers that day which I don't remember, but it was crazy in my mind!
So, that's the only two guys I've ever dealt with, and I think they're the two best in the business! Hope to meet Rous one day....
To answer the OP's question, Jeffrey Rous!
