Not sure what exactly you need done, but if it is just relacing it is someone most people could do themselves. There are several videos on Youtube that show you how to do it, and buying a lacing needle and lacing online is cheap and there are lots of color options. I relaced one of my DD's gloves just to do a color change. Great way to spend an evening on the back porch with a cigar and a couple of adult beverages.

I'm glad I have a local guy that does that stuff. Drop it off and done that day.

But like JAD said, if its just relacing, you can do it yourself with very little experience.

We take DD's to the local shoe repair guy. He has sewn, patched and relaced her gloves and mitts more times than I can count...

Along these lines DD glove smells like a bag of buttholes. I assume from sweat and such, tried OTC products ( odor eaters and stuff from local hardware store) and read about putting in freezer to kill bacteria. Any help would be appreciated

I had my son's gloved conditioned and relaced through JB Custom Gloves. You can find them on the web or Facebook. Would require shipping unless you're in Central Ohio but I was VERY impressed with the work.

Had a guy named Jeffrey Rous from Texas completely rebuild my 30+ year old Wilson A2000 XLO. Completely clean & condition, replaced the thumb and pinky inserts and re-laced with very stiff Tanners lace. Was blown away when I got it back, he does fantastic work! You can see some of his work on Softballfans in the general glove discussion thread. Can't recommend him enough.
