This is easily one of my favorite gloves I’ve ever owned. Did the hot water to break it in and it broke it really easy. Pocket is deep for a 12.5 and it’s extremely comfortable. I will have to do the 185 one eventually but wow I’m blown away with gloveworks!

This is my Third GW glove, as always, the craftsmanship is amazing. Fit and finish second to none (at least for anywhere near this price point). Color, leather, fit, feel, lacing, stitching....all perfect. I really wanted to see this Paisley leather for myself. I know its only available in the GAMEDAY leather (I love the Pro Steerhide, super stiff, beautiful leather.) which bummed me out cuz I'm a glove snob. BUT, pleasantly surprized at the gameday leather. Yes, thinner, and padding is not as stiff as the Steerhide, BUT seriously, its a nice glove. And for the cost, c'mon! what a steal.
All that said, A man feels like he needs an I-Web in his arsenal. I own a lot of gloves but never owned an I-web, nor a wingtip...so.....of course I need to order one. I love it, this for sure means, I'll need to buy another GW glove.

Absolutely beautiful.
If you told me as a kid, I could own a custom glove, designed by me, I would never have believed you.
Nicely done, great build

Default is the circle with the stitched GW monogram logo in it.Great job Steve, looks fantastic, and way to get that old Road Runner involved!

Haha, that was my second thought (I wonder if it is special order)! First was how surprised I am to like the paisley print.That's some more beasty split welting!

As Dan stated, it's the circle GW logo. The options would have been a number or a flag...which I didn't want.
I think I could have chosen the color of the stitched GW, but didn't realize that so what is on my glove is purple, which doesn't really go with my black/caramel ..... or come to think of it, it doesn't really go with anything. Live n learn ........

Thanks! YOU know how I fretted over designing this glove!
I'm an H-web guy, but this being a custom, I felt obligated to get something different. This is close to your recommendation of a true 6-finger trap that was offered and be "different" at the same time.
After you pointed out that the I-web tends to be flat/shallow, I was concerned this type web might be also. SO, my only "special request" was "long laces" thinking that might make it possible to loosen up the web a bit.
So glad that I did because this web is indeed flat compared to my floppy H-webs. I've already loosened it some.

I like it, you did good! As I told you, building a custom can be somewhat stressful, but it’s self inflicted stress, especially for your first custom. In reality, even after second guessing yourself, once it’s in your hands….they always look great! As far as ”Live n learn” on the purple stitched logo…gives it a little character!
So, you already building another in your head? Something in Pro-Steerhide & split welting?

Thanks, Fred! Do appreciate the kudos.
And you are absolutely right about owning a custom being something I would never remotely consider being a possibility. I felt that way until just recently. This thread and Dan promoting GloveWorks made me realize it's truly possible
I am so impressed with the leather and lace quality on this $100 glove!

I don't think I've ever promoted GW here, but just served as a resource for information and shared my own personal experiences, just like you all. I may be part of GW, but I'm also a satisfied customer x 8!

sorry...wrong choice of word. Did not mean "promote" as in marketing or sales pitch, but rather being informative. You have never come across as "you've gotta buy THIS glove".

I agree. To me Dan just comes across like a wonderful teacher of wisdom....(wonder why that is, hah)

disagree. i'll 100% blame him for me having 6 GWs. if the Gloveworks x Davis i handled wasn't so nice, i wouldn't have started buying them.

Well, it's getting there
After a week of contant flexing and self-toss with a weighted ball, I can ALMOST close it around a softball.
