Custom Elite Exclusive Features:      
1.  Bend Cut Shell
Custom Baseball Gloves Bend Cut The bend area is the strongest and has the most consistent fiber structure of all the leather in a given hide.  Because of their limited quantities Custom Elite's are cut entirely out of the bend area of the hide.  In other gloves the palms are cut from the bend, webs are cut from the neck, and backs and linings are cut from the bellies. 
2.  Triple Stitched Welt
Custom Baseball Gloves Triple Stitched Triple stitched back welt adds firmness to the glove.  The Custom Elite backs are welted together with a small piece of leather and then we triple stitch them.  After the back pieces are welted together we then glue down our specialized reinforcing stabilizers over the welted seams and then sew these down.  These stabilizers increase the rigidity and enhance the overall durability of the glove.
3.  Pattern Split Shell
Custom Baseball Gloves Pattern Split Splitting thins down the leather by slicing through the underside of the leather; generally glove backs are split to a uniform thickness.  With our Custom Elite’s we leave the stress areas, around web holes and finger tops, full thickness while thinning down the rest of the back of the glove.  Why not leave the back at full thickness?  Two reasons, first splitting the leather makes the gloves more workable which allows for better craftsmanship; second, splitting takes out unnecessary weight. 
4.  Branded Break Lines
 Custom Baseball Gloves Branded Break

Pilot lines are branded into the palm of the
glove to assist with break-in.
5.  Metallic Gold Labels
Custom Baseball Gloves Metallic GoldEach Custom Elite is adorned with our unique metallic gold labels.  This obvioslly doesn't do anything for performance but they look cool.
6.  Individually Registered & Numbered

Custom Baseball Gloves Individually Registered and NumberEach Custom Elite is numbered & registered.  Now the glove you designed has its own stock number.
