Great job!

[@ThePappygretsch]

Nice work. Just did the same thing to an old glove I found in the thrift store.

[@confucius2616]

Nice job

[@kodak_jack]

It would have helped immensely if you had used the Show More feature and listed what you used and links to the items.

[@Pawl0solidus]

Amazing work! I have one old Wilson A950 that I almost never used and it has some age, appears to be alright outside but the inside is peeling a lot. Is there any way to fix this?

[@kirkmills1267]

i have that exact one in my house but i do not know were it came from

[@TheDanLove]

New favorite type of videos to watch - glove restoration - thanks!

[@centerice]

Knowing my Dad did all those wonderful, improvised "use-what-you've-got" shoe lace and twine fixes when he was only a young school boy, would make it tough to remove them. On the other hand, being able to actually use my Father's boyhood glove, would make it worth it.

[@denasewell]

I highly recommend neatsfoot oil it really penetrates the leather better than the mink oil...or Olive oil.Don't freak out when you first put it on it looks a little crazy but as the oil seeps into the leather evenly the leather looks and feels amazing...then hit it with the mink oil to maintain the leather.I restore a lot of vintage suitcases and purses and feel the neatsfoot or olive oil work best.Great project!You did an amazing job restoring this antique baseball glove...I am sure your Dad was proud when he saw the glove restored...as it demonstrates your love and appreciation for such a special gift from your father

[@emmagatewood3898]

What do you think about using coconut oil to soften leather?

[@denasewell]

@@emmagatewood3898 I use olive oil it is less expensive than coconut oil but you can use any oil it may not last as long but you can always use what you have..Coconut is good for polishing

[@emmagatewood3898]

Thing of beauty. Brought a big smile to my face. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks buddy!!! I need to do my Dads!!!!

[@dalelong8001]

Wow! Great work, Kyle. It looks terrific and you did your father proud.

[@austint19]

Hey man thank you for this upload. Whenever I’m stressed out I sit down and watch this and it always puts me in a calm mood. I’ve had it in my “restoration” playlist for quite a while now. Such a beautiful restoration and now you can pass this glove on to your grandkids some day. Lovely stuff brother! Cheers.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks Austin!

[@shawndelargy2761]

I'm so glad when my father passed away I got his baseball glove that he had when he was a boy, the glove is about 50 yearsold now. And still in pretty good condition.

[@Forestwalker111]

Beauty! Treasure!!! What a memory to have. Thanks for sharing buddy Be well Craig

[@ericseckman6138]

I still have that glove from Little League days in Cheyenne, Wyoming 1968 my dad told when when I got my first GOOD hit I could get a new glove and this was what I got. Thank you Dad

[@sifumikezielinski2238]

Very beautiful work!

[@NcrebelRS]

Awesome job! I had a Rawling's "Tom Seaver" from around the same era. Brought back some memories for sure. I just recently found your channel and really enjoy watching you give new life to things.

[@rocfl59]

Great job

[@PaulLaurinD]

This is super helpful. Going to restore a family glove tomorrow for opening day with my son.

[@noahramirez6156]

Opening day with the cubs would be so cool to see it but I can’t tickets sold out

[@wrecksricardus4467]

shaving cream is far more useful when cleaning draws out contaminants without soaking in water BTW dad would have been a middle infielder short fingers with a wide scope

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Shaving cream. Now THAT is information I can use!

[@DCPorter71]

That was fantastic. I really enjoy your restoration videos.

[@AdmiralBob]

Glad to find this video! I have my Father's, Uncle's, and Grandfather's basball gloves that are in very neglected shape and was wanting to recondition the leather to use in a gift for my Father and Uncle. This is just about as perfect a tutorial as I could hope

[@dalelong8001]

When beginning to watch this video, I had no idea who was doing it, however when you started speaking, I recognized your voice, and I looked and sure enough, it was infact you. Thank you Kyle for another great video.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Haha that's awesome!

[@fucktheworld1207]

Well done that man 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 from Liverpool, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@charlesmurphy7685]

The outcome of the glove is amazing. Classic brown leather gloves look great

[@haydenfox3116]

beautiful work I love all your restorations man!

[@fac3308]

Saddle soap works great!

[@famasmaster2000]

Very nice ! We use the same mink oil. Love it. That glove looks fantastic

[@paulgriffin526]

Really fantastic bud! Good Job! I envy your relationship you got to have with your father. God chose for me to make things right with my own kids! Perhaps one day, one of my Sons will have a video about my glove! :) Good job man!

[@pathfinderpreston2538]

spot on job sir! I have my father's scout pack from the late 70's I need to restore.

[@lorisb1513]

Very cool!

[@AppalachianAxeworks]

Good Job brother .I coached baseball for about 15 years and relaced many a glove .That is a lot of fun .

[@Samoan_Diecast]

Well done bro. Great history, with many more to come. Bless up.👌

[@austint19]

Awesome stuff man. Now you can pass that on for more and more generations.

[@billheinrich1432]

Love this! I have my old glove and you've given me hope that I can restore it for the grandkids (when/if I get some!)

[@tommyjohn3525]

Nice!

[@ChadMorgan709]

Nice job. Definitely something I've never even thought about doing before. Turned out beautiful.

[@thomasbolles9239]

Love the video and will be doing the same with my 50 year old glove. I was wondering what the difference is between mink oil and mink oil paste and if there are advantages to using one over the other for a glove restoration.

[@Slomo-Man]

Really nice restoration

[@kyle_noseworthy]

+Jakob Cain thanks Jakob!

[@Slomo-Man]

Kyle Noseworthy - Weiderfan No Problem, I restore gloves for my local community so I think you did a beautiful job

[@tophytime]

Not too shabby. I've relaced a few gloves similar to that. Metal garment heel is such a pain to relace.

[@kpm7264]

What glove is that I think I have the same one but I cant seem to find the exact model?

[@sdmredsox]

Awesome job! Was curious if the thumb support loop was salvageable? Regardless, great work, I’m currently attempting to refinish a friend of mines glove as well and I found this to be really helpful!

[@anthonyshepard9606]

: Hello Kyle Noseworthy. I was impressed on how you refurbished your father's baseball glove. Back in the 70's I worked in a sporting good store where I learn how to relace softball and baseball gloves. I was taught by a gentleman who had been relacing gloves for more than 20 years, his name was Gil. Just a little history. After viewing your video I went and pulled out all of my old 50 year old baseball gloves. Not like your dad's mines were in very good condition due to the fact that I had use glove oil and condition the gloves prior to putting them away. The reason for this comment is If you condition your glove properly they will last for quite some time. I had conditioned my gloves when they were brand new and a little touch up here and there over a period of time. Avid player, 3rd Base, catchers and left field. I am 69 years old now and I play catch with my five-year-old grandson who now is playing t-ball. LOL. OUTSTANDING INFO VIDEO ⚾️ 👍 ⚾️ 👍 ⚾️ 👍

[@cameronmartin203]

Hello, I really liked your video, I’ve been wanting to do the same thing to my grandpa’s old glove that he gave me when I was very young. Unfortunately I don’t have the skill set or the resources to do so. And I just wanted to ask you if you would restore it for me. It would mean a lot to me. I’d be more then happy to pay for the service and for any materials and shipping costs. Please consider it, thank you.

[@dustinrobinson8178]

You may call around to cobblers or shoe repair shops in your area. I have a guy around me that will fix anything made of leather, gloves, purses, shoes, etc.

[@wrecksricardus4467]

a middle infield glove should be flat like a platter so as not to catch the ball as much as trap it for better transfer ability great video

[@austint19]

I have this video saved and I come back and watch it every now and then. Thanks for the upload. Would love to do this with my old man’s glove but he’d kill me if I ruined it 😂

[@kyle_noseworthy]

haha Thanks Austin! Yea, it's tough to dig your hands into heirloom items! Risky!

[@athenatwenty2016]

Is the lace new?

[@clockclockclock]

This video might be entertaining for those looking to get an old glove as a shelf prop, but a proper glove restorer would actually get it playable again and to hold open, which requires the heel and palm to be relaced. Please use actual glove lace and not boot lace, and be sure to follow the original pattern and knots. Gloves may look as deceptively simple as lacing a shoe, but there are a lot of intricacies to glove patterns that are crucial to their structural integrity.

[@assaulttiger2736]

You need to shape the baseball glove too .................... It's too 🥞 pancaked and they want to put a syrup on it

[@ace50cal1]

Alot of vaseline!!!! Lol leave it in your truck on a hot day afterwards. Softens up nicely like that

[@therealcarlos653]

Tulos glove??

[@donaclements4621]

This is a good how-to for baseball glove restoration. Those of us who want "just the facts, ma'am" would like the narrative to be shorter and the steps condensed and speeded up. Thanks for the info.

[@Carlie_flower]

It looks great! I used to do restoration for people's old saddles, love this idea now I'm gonna be scouring the antique stores for old leather gloves lol!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Perhaps some money to be made there? :-)

[@Carlie_flower]

Kyle Noseworthy - Weiderfan possibly! I'll have to find out! Lol! Loved it though, I watch people just buy new equipment and throw the old stuff out all the time (sporting goods store) was nice to see someone give some love to a nice piece instead of just chucking it in the trash. Good on ya :)

[@joshalbright8948]

Instead of water and soap you should have used glove oil/ glove cleaner

[@TheWarriorWorkshop]

Nice work. Now go catch some balls

[@aaronesh5359]

Is it just me or does he sound Irish? If so do they play baseball in Ireland

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Newfoundland, Canada. Irish descent

[@dockolb]

can you work and talk at the same time. You keep flipping the glove. I have it memorized

[@simplyconnected]

You have REMOVED the thumb loop! If you ever played baseball you know that piece is essential for closing the mitt. The laces need to be the same color too.

[@cvdzn1701]

For some reason I thought the title said "Destroying" so I clicked on it so fast to see if this guy is actually that much of a dick... But good job on the restoration!

[@user-bg2di5ru7u]

하.. 이걸 수리라고 했냐? 이렇게 할껌 왜 작업 하냐?

[@connormcgill3797]

Your father doesn’t know how to break in a glove I can see

[@michaelj5463]

Great job!
