I recently scored an early 90's Louisville Slugger 125 Professional Series, made in Japan, on Marketplace for $30. It was virtually unused, with the beginnings of a terrible pancake break in. Relaced it and broke it in correctly. It's fully steerhide with a thin, soft, supple steerhide liner. I've been shopping A2K, A2000, Heart of Hide and Pro Preferred, and this thing gives up nothing to modern top of the line. I honestly can't find anything new that tempts me away from it. I bought it as a backup glove, but it's the only glove I've used since getting it.
Nice video. I picked up a vintage A2000 XLC from ebay a few years back, slightly pancaked but overall in really nice shape. Date code ties it to 1992. The leather is so nice and it's a real pleasure to use.
I have that exact glove and am looking for a how to video to relace the web. I cut out all the old laces and didn't take pics to refer to. Help please!
Sorry for the late response, I do not know a video off the top of my head you can use to re-lace it yourself but I can direct you to people who can do it for you for an affordable price!
My grandfather had it stored in a box in his house somewhere. The house had moisture circulating due to the air conditioning always running, so my guess is that it helped keep the glove from dry rotting and kept the leather moist.
I hate the New Pink ,baby blue, mint, ooooh i want the Cotton Candy, ooooh no they got the ice cream with sprinkles ! Lookin like Fisher Price my first custom! I customize my gloves and theyre black n tan, Yes they do come in mens colors! Thats a gem there before the laces went to 💩! THE A2000
Incredibly wonderful glove. It’s the real deal. Great info and great video!

That’s awesome! Such fascinating gloves all with different stories!
you're correct there's very little info available on vintage Wilson, I have a Wilson Japan made A2101 Dave Cash Pro Model, guessing it's 1973-74...
Love that mitt, love your style of video. Keep it going bro and you're gonna get so comfortable talking to the camera!
I appreciate that, thank you!
Keep that thing forever. My best friends dad still has his from the 70s.

@Aheidemann all good, I took my time and figured it out. In the last 3 weeks I've relaced all 6 of my gloves. 3 Rawlings, 2 Wilsons amd 1 SSK.
Awesome history.
My first thought was how did you get a vintage glove in such phenomenal condition.
My grandfather had it stored in a box in his house somewhere. The house had moisture circulating due to the air conditioning always running, so my guess is that it helped keep the glove from dry rotting and kept the leather moist.
Great video man. Keep ‘’em coming.
This is sick

Hahaha literally. Wilson has gotten very crazy with the amount of options they offer now.
Ver cool
Kool story.

I think you can get one off Ebay in decent condition for a fair price.
brother look away from tha script pls😂😂
Storyboard. Still learning here 😂
@@Heidethrowz all good brother good video❤️
good video and content but the glove is straight bunzz
The glove may not be the flashiest or the most sought after on the market, but it is still a very nice vintage piece!
Yes he needs to bedazzle it, relace it in pink, and swap out some high quality leather for man made synthetics, then it will be str8 🔥
