Where did you want the padding?Do you know when he sold the business? I'm trying to remember how long ago I had it done. The relace was fine but I would have liked a little better padding refurb.

+10 for American made!
-5 for floppyness
-5 for velcro
That would have probably dissuaded me from throwing my glove in the dugout..Probably weighs 17 lbs too.

Hi kevin, how is your Japanese kip leather compares to the us kip leather that is use in the mizuno pro gloves?Good Morning Everyone - Kevin Czachow here and I actaully own Grace Glove Company. I thought I would shed some light on a few of the questions and speculations around my glove company. First off, let me state how cool it is that my glove is being discussed on this forum. When I started this company, I wanted to bring the highest quality glove to the market at an affordable price.
Going through this conversation, here are answers to the questions brought up:
1. All of my gloves are made in the Philippines.
2. I started this company out of Georgetown, TX, which is about 15 min north of Austin. I am now located in Issaquah, WA which is just east of Seattle (moved for work and family).
3. All of my gloves are true Japanese Kip. I spent 4 years working with dozens of glove manufactures around the world and went with one that provided the appropriate downstream documentation showing the farm in which supplies the leather. Japanese Kip is the highest quality leather available for baseball gloves and I wanted to make sure my leather was coming from a non GMO farm (If you would like more detail, feel free to reach out).
4. Even to this day, Nokona is one of my favorite brands, and trust me, if I had the ability to have my gloves manufactured in the USA, I would.
5. Yes, I was the one that started GloveRelace.com and I relaced just shy of 18,000 gloves in the 10 years I owned that company. I sold it to another quality relacer in Pflugerville, TX, which is about 10 min east of Austin. He does fantastic work and has been performing all the repairs since August 2017.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

From what I have seen, Kip is Kip. I have worked with both US Kip and Japanese Kip, and to me they felt the same, as they should because it came from the same part of the cow. To answer you question, I would say Japanese Kip stands up and feels the same as US Kip. Sorry for the late response by the way.Hi kevin, how is your Japanese kip leather compares to the us kip leather that is use in the mizuno pro gloves?
