Mail-in baseball glove restoration, relacing, cleaning, and wear-style break-in. See the full glove restoration process and our before & after restorations.

01
01 — Break-In
Glove Break-In

Broken in the way you wear it and play with it — not the way the shelf said to. Finger out. Finger in. One in the pinky. Two in the pinky. You tell us how you play, we shape the glove around that.

  • Shaped to your position & wear style
  • Custom machine + mallet work
  • Leather conditioner treatment
  • Pocket formation for your play style
  • No shortcuts.

02 — Restore
Clean & Condition

For the player who wants their glove to perform and last. We deep-clean the leather and put the moisture back in — the right way. No oil. Oil makes your glove heavier. We know the difference. A glove that’s cared for plays better and lasts longer.

  • Full leather deep clean
  • Professional Leather Conditioner
  • Palm and finger treatment
  • Emblem + patch clean
03
03 — Full Restore
Clean, Condition & Relace

We inspect, de-lace, clean, condition, and relace with fresh laces in the color(s) you choose. Not a structural rebuild, and not a game-ready re-break — you’ll still break the glove in with use. Perfect for a current gamer or the one that’s been sitting in the garage.

  • Full inspection + de-lace
  • Deep clean + conditioning
  • Fresh lace replacement — your color(s)
  • Catcher’s / first-base mitts +$10
  • Thumb loops +$20
  • Thumb & pinky loops +$35
  • Return shipping included

Average turnaround is about 7–10 business days from when we receive your glove (about 10–12 for break-ins). We try to accommodate rush orders when we can, but we can’t guarantee them.

Our Glove Break-In Method

Not Just
Break-Ins.

"Finger out. Finger in. One in the pinky. Two in the pinky. We all wear our gloves differently — so we take the time and care to break it in the way you want to play, so the glove wants to serve you."

Restoration, cleaning, and relacing are just as core to what we do as break-ins — every glove that comes through gets the same care, whether it’s fresh off the shelf or coming back for another season.

We use a combination of water, leather conditioner, our custom-built break-in machine, and traditional break-in mallets — and every glove gets worked to the specific way you wear it.

Wear style
Finger out, finger in, one in the pinky — you decide. We shape to how you play.
Custom machine
Purpose-built and designed around how we break in gloves, not how a factory does.
Conditioner
Ball Player's Balm on every glove. No oil — oil adds weight. We know the difference.
Efficient
We take the time so you don't have to. Your time is best spent making plays with your glove, not breaking it in.
How Glove Restoration Works
01
Choose Your Service

Pick your service — Glove Break-In, Clean & Condition, or Clean, Condition & Relace. Ordering break-in? Tell us your wear style — finger out, finger in, one in the pinky, two in the pinky. Ordering a full restore? Tell us your lace color(s).

02
Pack It & Ship It

Mail your glove from anywhere in the US. We confirm the day it arrives. No appointment, no drop-off required.

03
We Get To Work

Every glove is worked by hand. We inspect it first, then treat it. We take the time it takes to do it right — no rushing, no shortcuts.

04
Shipped Back To You

Return shipping included. A break-in comes back shaped to how you play. A full restore comes back de-laced, cleaned, conditioned, and relaced — you’ll still break that glove in with use. If we take care of your equipment, your equipment is going to take care of you.

Average turnaround is about 7–10 business days from when we receive your glove (about 10–12 for break-ins). We try to accommodate rush orders when we can, but we can’t guarantee them.

Full Glove Restoration Process

This Is What
Happens To
Your Glove.

When you send us a glove for the Full Restore, here's exactly what it goes through — de-lace, clean, condition, and relace, nothing skipped. Optional add-ons — catcher’s / first-base mitts +$10 (more lace); thumb loops +$20; thumb & pinky loops +$35.

We know: if we take care of your equipment, your equipment is going to take care of you.

1
Full inspection — we check every lace, the thumb loop, and the leather. If we see damage we can't help with yet — tears, holes, padding — we'll tell you straight.
2
Full de-lace — every lace comes out. Old laces off, clean slate.
3
Professional clean + condition — deep clean of the leather with conditioner. No oil — oil makes your glove heavier. We use what works.
4
Emblem + patch clean — your glove comes back looking like a brand new glove. Every badge, every logo, cleaned.
5
Palm adhesive re-application — we reapply adhesive to the interior palm. Most shops skip this. We don't.
6
Fresh lace replacement — new laces, your color, tension adjusted to how you want it.
7
Leather reawakening — fresh lace and conditioner can stiffen the hide a bit. We wake the leather back up so it's ready to work, but you'll still break the glove in with use. Want it shaped to how you wear it? That's our break-in service.

Two Generations

We Grew Up
In This Game.

Have you ever loved someone, or something, so much that all you could think about is — "How can I spend more time with them?"

That's kind of how we feel about each other and baseball. We are two generations of Blank brothers that want to spend any time we have with each other and around baseball.

"So we decided to put it all together in Blank Bros Glove Co. Our hope is that we can create more opportunities to be with each other and baseball while restoring others' love for family and baseball — one glove at a time."

The Vision

The goal was never just to service gloves. Every order goes toward something bigger.

🧤
Gloves for Kids

We give away gloves to kids who need them. No kid should sit out because they couldn't afford one.

⚾
Little League Fees

Registration costs keep kids off the field every year. We're building toward covering those fees so more kids can just play.

🙏
Baseball Ministries

Baseball has always been more than a sport. We partner with faith-based baseball ministries and camps to bring people together through the game.
