Replacing leather on gloves

[Hammers44 4]

This is probably a dumb question but I'm usually good at asking those so here it goes.

A buddy of mine just sold me a pair of gloves that had a number stitched onto the thumb and was removed with a stitch remover. The glove wasn't torn up but has the imprint from the needle marks. Is their anyway to replace the leather on this section?

I talked to a couple of shoe repair places in my area and they said it was probably possible but they wouldn't be able to get at it for a couple of months since they don't usually do that type of work. Has anyone out there in the MSH world done this or know of anyone doing this?

maybe you'll find your solution there:

That whole topic is about repalming gloves not repairing the leather on the outside of the glove.

[romdj 26]

and the firms offering the service of re-palming aren't able to repair the outside leather?

No luck so far. I called Peaches Pro Repair but they didn't answer. I might try emailing them also.

Peaches is an equip. manager for a team again (I think JR posted that a while back) so his responce time will likely be slower than it used to be.

Mark at Peaches may take a day or two to get back to you, I sent him gloves on Saturday and he received them on Tuesday and I'm waiting to hear back from him regarding the total price w/shipping.

EDIT: I just got an email back from Mark, he's on the road until Monday with the team. Your best best is to email Mark at mjbrennanpdx@msn.com, as he won't be returning any phone calls until at least Monday.

Ok thanks for the email. I wanted to send him a picture of the gloves first to see what he thinks.
