I asked around about navy leather and was advised against it, even though I really wanted it. I think I spoke to Wally about it, he said that it turns a grayish color after a while and you can't get it back to it's original color.

How old is that glove? Look at that wear on the interior. As the saying goes...….. It looks like it's been rode hard & put up wet!
I'm pretty sure that dyeing techniques have improved a lot since then. I have other navy gloves that show no signs of fading. It'll be more of a trophy glove if I decide to get it.
But you have given me something to think about...…...

It's Carlos Gomez's glove. I used it as an example when asking @Wally Gator about his Navy pro1000. He said it started looking like that glove. I'm sure he'd be happy to chime in here. But if it's going to be a shelf piece then I doubt it will deteriorate to that extent. Personally I'd go with split grey welting and silver stamping.

I say go for it. It’s unique and navy is classy looking. Love the single post.

Oooh that’s nice.Hey Maverick, just playing around with your idea.......mocked up a Royal blue 504 with a single post / double bar. My builder must be broke?? It'll only let me choose tan lace, split gray, and Vegas gold?? Not sure what's going on there.View attachment 54201

Not bad! Not tying to do anything too crazy though. I generally prefer my gloves to be fairly monotone. Must be the former pitcher in me...
(I just noticed. Not The Mav Man )I do like the idea of getting the split gray though.
Here's another mock-up:
This time it's a JD8 in tan w/split gray. Navy on the patch & lettering. I really want a JD8 but the web options (Basket or H) suck! I might change the patch & lettering to Black. I want to keep it simple in case I decide to move it.

Just to give you a sense of how it may look like, there was a retail 302 a couple years back that was similar...

The "business end" on the JD8 pattern:
Timberglaze or Golden Brown would be bad either...….

Looks are probably deceiving! It's still just a 12.5" pattern. Rawlings claims that it's their deepest, widest pattern so it stands to reason that some length has been sacrificed which would make it perfect for me if I decide to use it. If I get it, that is...… Right now I'm torn between this with black/gold or navy/gold accents & the PP pictured above.
Come on guys. Let's hear something!

I dig the Bruciato with Split Grey, that's really sharp. The embossed logo and leather patches really class it up.

I know tastes and options are subjective and everyone likes what they like......having said that, do you like two toned gloves like the Black and Tan NP6 I just ordered?
Black shell.
Tan web of your choice.
Tan laces, tan binding.
Vegas gold stitching & embroidery.
Split gray welting.
Traditional patches.
I think it’s a classy old school look! A 504 or JD8 in that flavor would look great, at least I think so..........or you could twist those colors around some to your liking.
AND, my Timber NP7 with split gray looks insanely good, don’t forget Timber!

A teammate of mine has a navy/red Harper model. After 2 years of use it looks bluish gray/pink.
Here's another mock-up:
I really like the idea of going with classic tan/brown leather and adding a splash of colour with the embroidery and patches. If you keep it and game it, the leather will develop a nice patina and the coloured bits won't fade.
This is my favourite, I LOVE the embossing on the index vs the standard embroidery. Makes it look really unique while still looking like a classic Rawlings.

Okay, colored leather is out!
Although I do own some two-toned gloves, it's not my preference. The most I'd do is the tan leather throughout with black laces & split black welting.
The stock PP in Bruciato with leather patches is really calling out to me though. It's unique, new & I don't feel like enduring the wait for a custom. That's the route I'm taking. This time...…..
BTW...….. How long do you think it'll be before Rawlings offers leather patches as an option on their custom builder, if ever?

Gold binding and welting wear off to a milky white color with any use.

Love it. I'm a big fan of the black/gold and scarlet/gold patches. I'd go with black stitching though for a little more contrast on the web and wrist.

I agree! Rawlings knocked this glove out of the park. The embossed logo, liner, laces and the labels all exceeded my expectations.

JD8 with a H-web.
Timberglaze, primo burgandy patches, split gray, Vegas gold stitching, black embroidery, dark tan laces. I know there's several different colors going on here but I love the black embroidery on the Timberglaze like on Arenado's glove.
***Could also do split black on this one!

I was thinking of getting one like this but splurging on the PP in rich tan.
