How much does it cost to relace a baseball glove?
A full relace and restoration is $95. That includes a complete de-lace, deep clean, conditioning, palm-adhesive re-application, fresh laces, a light re-break, and return shipping. See what’s included →
Should you put oil on a baseball glove?
No. Oil soaks into the leather, adds weight, and breaks it down over time. We clean and re-moisturize with professional conditioner instead — it restores the leather without the weight or the long-term damage of oil. More on cleaning & conditioning →
Is steaming a baseball glove bad?
High-heat steaming can dry out the leather and shorten your glove’s life. We break gloves in with water, conditioner, a custom break-in machine, and traditional mallets — a method that shapes the glove without cooking the leather. How we break gloves in →
Do you break in the glove the way I wear it?
Yes — that’s the whole point. Finger out, finger in, one in the pinky, two in the pinky: you tell us how you wear and play with your glove, and we shape the pocket and hinge around that.
Can you relace or restore a catcher’s mitt or first base mitt?
Yes. We relace and restore catcher’s mitts, first base mitts, and infield and outfield gloves — baseball and softball — at the same flat price.
Do you work on softball gloves?
Absolutely. We service baseball and softball gloves alike — fastpitch and slowpitch — for break-in, cleaning, conditioning, relacing, and restoration.
Can I get custom lace colors?
Yes. A relace is your chance to make the glove yours — classic natural tan or bright custom colors. Just tell us what you want when you order.
How do I mail in my glove?
Place your order online, pack your glove in a box or padded mailer with your order details, and ship it to us in Redding, CA. We do the work and ship it back game-ready — return shipping included. See the full process →
Is it worth relacing an old glove instead of buying new?
Usually yes. A quality glove costs $150–$400 new and still needs breaking in. If the leather is sound, a $95 relace and restoration brings your glove back for a fraction of that — and you keep a glove already shaped to your hand. If the leather is truly too far gone, we’ll tell you straight.
Where are you located, and do you ship nationwide?
We’re based in Redding, California, and we ship nationwide. You can mail your glove in from anywhere in the United States. Questions? Email blankbrosgloveco@gmail.com.
