Navy lace hunt

So, I'm finding it's incredibly difficult to source navy laces for my Vinci glove. Anybody in here know of a source?

I have only been able to find the Mizuno ones, and getting the one (literally, they only sent one lace) I needed from Amazon solved my initial problem. That said, they are a bit stiff for my taste and only seem to come in 1/4, if there's another option.

While I'm here- anybody have a recommendation for how much I should get (I have a 14 inch, I want to say BR46 pattern)?

These guys offer a Dark Navy lace (3/16" x 72"):

IDK if they sell it in bulk as their website isn't set up to by the Navy in bulk. It's probably best to give them a call.

I also don't know the stiffness of the colored laces as I've only used their Tan which is incredibly stiff. I'd still expect them to be stiffer than the Mizuno laces. If they are stiff, just pre-condition the laces before use & problem solved. It's what I do. It should take about 4 laces to do a full glove. Get 5 to be safe & have extra.

There's also these guys:

I've no experience with them but do offer a wide variety of colors. I know nothing of the quality of their laces.

EBay: 172403613501 Might be decent, IDK.......



Glovesmith sells quality laces but they don't do Navy.
Rawlings sells kits but they don't do Navy.
There may be some custom glove makers who sell laces separately but be careful as they can be overly expensive.

Thanks a ton man- I had come across that middle source (I couldn't gauge how legitimate it is), but I had never found the first one.

The big thing is knowing how many to source- that will help me out immeasurably.
