PRE ORDER UPDATE: SAGUARO 12.75” OUTFIELD GLOVE
Please read everything below:
All the pre-orders are in full production! Many of you guys who placed a pre-order are wondering why it’s taking so long…
After many months of waiting on an order from Horween, I finally received the hides. They averaged about 20 sq. ft. per hide. I ordered more Horween, and the second batch averaged about 17.5 sq. ft. per hide.
Why does this matter?
Leather is a natural product. There are so many square feet on a hide that I can’t use—like the neck, armpit, and belly. Even though I can’t use these parts of the hide, I still pay for the square footage.
It’s pretty standard for a hide to be around 25 sq. ft. Normally, I can make about four gloves per hide. Since these hides are anywhere from 16.5–20 sq. ft., I run into the unusable areas much quicker. The yield is about 2.5 gloves per hide.
Because this is a longer glove, the yield is even lower. This has been the main culprit for the delay. Horween leather is extremely expensive, making this overall launch difficult to get into motion. Moving forward, you’ll be seeing gloves made from other tannery’s.
I’m extremely grateful for your pre-orders! As a one-man outfit, I’m working day and night to get these gloves out. Stay tuned!
