Glove care and repair

A glove that gets dried properly, conditioned lightly and stored correctly lasts years longer than one that lives in the bottom of a bag.

After every game

  • Knock the dirt off and wipe it down with a dry cloth.
  • If it got wet, air-dry it at room temperature — never on a radiator, in a car, or with a dryer.
  • Store it with a ball in the pocket, fingers closed, out of the bottom of the bag.

Every few weeks in season

  • Check the laces at the web, heel and pinky for fraying or slack.
  • Apply a thin coat of conditioner only if the leather looks dry or chalky. Less is more.
  • Re-tighten laces before they break; a loose lace becomes a torn lace hole.

Off-season

Clean it, condition it lightly, put a ball in the pocket and store it somewhere dry and out of direct sun. Don't seal it in plastic — leather needs to breathe.

Repairs

We relace and repair BLB gloves. Email us with photos before a loose lace turns into a bigger job and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a repair, a warranty matter, or a glove that's reached the end of its life.
