Which Rawlings HOH leathers are the most durable?

Generally leathers that require heavy dying will be less likely to last longer.

Avoid white and any other bright colors that generally don’t appear on bulls/cows in nature.

Tan is a solid choice for long lasting leather.

Horween top of the line, no?

I haven’t seen Horween in the customizer in awhile (could be my ignorance). You can still get the tan ones from specialty shops, though.

Is navy in the avoid category too?

I generally avoid it, but it depends on the usage and conditions you expose it to.

I mean…sweat and high heat will destroy leather regardless of the coloring.

Gloves are an awesome way to get instant credibility if you’re using it correctly. Just keep it in a cool place when not in use and clean/condition it when necessary.

Gloves become floppy when the adhesive breaks down, and laces go limp. The leather color won’t stop that from happening.

Good luck!

Sorry, gonna say yes.

I‘m in the Tan/Tan/Tan camp all sewn together with Vegas Gold!

Personally, I like tan on tan; tan with an accent color that I can fix with a sharpie; black on black with split gray welting; brown with that tan lace (like Dan’s timberglaze and tan lace glove); and black with tan lace (ala KG Jr).
