Possible embroidery fixes?

[hookemfox]

I'm admittedly anal about my gloves. I'm in talks to get a A2000 with some thumb embroidery. I was curious what could be done to remove or cover this up. It's already been blacked up, but that's not really enough for my liking.

I'm sure cutting out the stitching will leave a bunch of needle holes.

I read that embroidering an already made glove is basically impossible. Is this true?

The only other route I can think of would be to put a patch over it, but what would this entail?

Any help is appreciated

Buying the patch 1"x4" or 3" couple bucks on the bay embroider if you'd like $10-$15. Taking the heel and thumb apart, pulling out the padding. Going to a leather/shoe smith and have then sew it on $20. Done it...... Lol then sold it to my brother..... In-law, Hahaha.....

Wish there was a way to fix mine too

There are three options. One is to use a seam ripper to cut out the thread, but as you noted, it will leave a bunch of holes. Second is to color it so it matches the surrounding leather. Last is to cover it up with a patch. I believe any shoe cobbler can help you create the patch and glue it over the old one. I believe podo can help further with specifics of you decide to go the patch route. I decided to black out mine on the 504. I prefer it over holes. If the leather is black, it will hide the holes better.

I'm about to try to put a military name tape over a custom that I bought with a name on it.

It is black, so that may help. I'm tempted to try this method. If it doesn't work, I could just put a patch over it at that point. Thoughts? Maybe using this stuff.

If u pull all the threads out I like the first idea! Those threads will piss u the **** off though, trust me. After about half I went to the patch method. Great patients young grass hoppa! Who has one with the holes/thread removed? I wanna see this stuff on a glove!

I'd love to see pictures of any patches or fixes that have been done.

Patch was sewn on not glued.

I removed stitching and used a leather/vinyl repair kit. Whoever has this Rawlings blue and orange Johnson glove could post some pics of how this has held up...

I tried the leather cement and black dye remedy as mentioned above with somewhat disappointing results. Here is a close up pic, along with one a little further out. Accounting for all the labor and materials, I recommend leaving the embroidery unless it really bothers you.
