As leather experts, the technical team at Advanced Leather Solutions, the maker of Mitt-Spit, have a deep understanding of the properties and characteristics of different types of leather. We know how leather is made, how it ages, and how to care for it properly. We also have a lot of experience working with leather, so know what makes a good glove and how to keep it in top condition.

A baseball glove manufacturer who doesn't really understand the attributes of leather may be able to build a functional glove, but they may not be able to provide the best possible care advice. They know how to cut and sew the leather, how to lace a glove but that knowledge doesn’t help when asked about how to properly care of the leather to prolong its useful life. They may not know how to choose the right type of leather for the application, or they may not know how to properly break in a glove. They may also not be aware of the different ways that leather can be damaged, and how to prevent that damage.

As a result, a baseball glove manufacturer who doesn't really understand the attributes of leather may not be able to give their customers the best possible advice on how to care for their gloves. Whereas, the leather technicians at Advanced Leather Solutions (https://advleather.com) are the brains behind the Mitt-Spit product set. We on the other hand, have deep knowledge and experience to provide our customers with the best possible care advice. We can help them choose the correct leather cleaning process, conditioning regime, how to break in their glove properly and prevent their glove from being damaged. We know the proper chemical engineering behind the best performing leather care products and the pitfalls of using the wrong products that can damage leather.

Here are some specific examples of how the Mitt-Spit team’s knowledge of leather gives us an advantage over a baseball glove manufacturer who doesn't really understand the attributes of leather:

• We know that different types of leather have different properties. For example, kip leather is a good choice for baseball gloves because it is strong, durable, and lightweight. Through consulting services, we can help manufacturers choose the right type of leather for their needs.

• We know how leather ages. As leather restoration specialists we help our customers understand how their glove will change over time, and how to care for it to prevent it from damage, drying out or cracking.

• We know how to break in a baseball glove properly. We help our customers break in their glove quickly and easily, without damaging the leather.

• We could work with a glove manufacturer teaching them about the proper break in chemistry that they could apply to a glove before it ships from their factory so it arrives in the customer’s hand already broken in.

• We know how to prevent baseball gloves from being damaged. We teach our customers how to store their gloves properly, and how to clean and condition them to keep them in good condition.

In short, our knowledge of leather gives us a unique perspective that allows us to provide our customers with the best possible care products and advice for their baseball gloves. If you are looking for someone who can help you choose, break in, and care for your baseball glove, We’re the people to talk to.
