Wilson Customs

[Captain10]

Hey fellas! Been awhile! Anybody order a Wilson custom lately? Had a few questions and was hoping for some feedback since I'm thinking about ordering one (through SBF obviously), a 1781 to be exact:
1. What's the current lead time? Especially with Covid?
2. Are they 4 or 5 loop openings? I saw the options for changing the fit so if they are 5 loop, would having them do the narrow fit make it more like a 4 loop?
3. Does anyone have photos of embroidery on the thumb? Tough to get a feel for what it will look like on the builder, especially with 5-6 font options. I'll be doing my last name and #10.
4. Is it just me or is the original framed logo still the best? I am trying to love the bold logo but I just don't. The Yellow logo on a black background is just too slick looking.

Any help is appreciated!

s/n: my "custom" looks awfully similar to a PI ST 1781

i got a custom lht 1781 in 2014 and it came as a 5 loop hand opening

EDIT: I saw a few pictures on FB of customs and they all have 5 loop openings and not to mention that you can tell its 5 loops in the photos on the builder.

My son did one this year through SBF and it came in on time. I think right on the 8 week estimate if I remember right. Anybody try a 14" A2000? I love the ancient Demarini Voodoo 13 2/3”, but I've felt like every time I've tried going bigger (Nokona and Vinci) you couldn't snowcone it making that extra 1/3 completely useless if not a detriment.

The new PF92 and the YP66 from a couple years ago both had four loops.

They added vintage tan to the a2000 custom builder. They had PI 1781s for $225 on JBG recently but they sold out fast.

Did they do away with the MLB logo in the pinky ? I don’t see it as an option any longer

Yes, Rawlings is now the “official” glove of the MLB and their gloves will all have the logo. The Rawlings logo, IMO is a downgrade from the Wilson version. It looks like they took all the leftover MLB logos from the Majestic jersey factory and retroactively stuck them to the glove.

They look terrible!

I had one in my cart, paid for, with confirmation e-mail, only to get another e-mail from them stating they oversold their stock and I unfortunately didn't get one. They offered me another retail glove for the same price, only I think I was paying $279 or something like that. Wouldn't have been much of a savings for a retail glove I really didn't need / want so I just took the refund.
