With All-Star, I’d imagine it’s made out of steerhide? It really doesn’t specify on their site. The System Seven baseball gloves and the CMW3000 fastpitch mitt are made out of the high end Maruhashi leather.
Feels like the same stuff to me.

Maybe something in the tanning process or a different section of the Hide that lets them label/market it as high end? It’s still going to be steerhide.
per the FreeThePowder (FTP) site they use a couple of other ingredients which would seem readily available and easy to add in to your mix (not sure what ratios). Lanolin and Avocado Oil. Tahitian Manoi Oil? Everyone has that laying around right? hahahave anyone diy their own leather conditioner?
1. 100% organic cocoa butter
2. 100% organic beeswax
3. 100% organic sweet almond oil
melt step 1 and step 2 together, and once #1 and #2 are both melted; add #3 into the mix and stir well. After everything is mix well; pour into a mason jar and let cool for like 15-20mins.
It's the same ingredients that is used in the Smith's leather balm that amazon.com is selling for $20 for a 4oz tin can.
Doesn't Lanolin makes the leather soft and floppy over time?per the FreeThePowder (FTP) site they use a couple of other ingredients which would seem readily available and easy to add in to your mix (not sure what ratios).

My experience with it has been somewhat limited. Used shaving cream on a couple of gloves when my DD's started playing more than 10yrs ago. Their gloves and the cheapie I bought for myself would have been floppy anyways. ;-)Doesn't Lanolin makes the leather soft and floppy over time?
