Customizable baseball gloves, built one player at a time. At Tater Baseball, every glove starts with you — your hand, your position, your preferences. Choose your size, web pattern, leather color, lacing, stitching, and embroidery, then we hand-build it from pro-grade steerhide and kip leather in our Connecticut shop.

This is the same build your own baseball glove process trusted by college and pro players who want gear that fits how they actually play — not whatever's on the rack. Our custom infield gloves, outfield gloves, pitcher's gloves, and first base mitts all use the same premium materials and the same patient hand-construction.

Turnaround is 8–10 weeks because real leather goods take time to break in correctly before they leave the shop. You'll get a glove that's already shaped, oiled, and ready to play — not stiff cardboard you have to wrestle into form.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to make a customizable baseball glove?
Custom baseball gloves take 8–10 weeks from order to ship. Real leather construction can't be rushed without sacrificing break-in quality — every glove is hand-shaped, oiled, and inspected at our Cheshire, Connecticut shop before it leaves. The 8–10 week window covers leather selection, web construction, pocket forming, lacing, embroidery, conditioning, and final inspection. You're getting a glove built one at a time, not pulled off a rack.
What can I customize on a Tater baseball glove?
You pick size (from 11.25" infield to 13.5" outfield), web pattern (I-Web, H-Web, V-Web, Modified Trapeze, Single Post, Double Post, Mod Trap Loop, One Piece, Modified Pro-H for first base, Helix closed-web for pitchers), leather color, lace color, stitching color, palm padding, wrist closure (lace, Velcro, or X-strap), and personalized embroidery on the thumb, pinky, or wrist strap. Catcher's mitts add web-specific options for the position. Pitcher's gloves use closed-web designs to conceal grip.
What leather do you use on customizable baseball gloves?
Premium steerhide and kip leather — the same grades used by MLB-supplied pro gloves. Steerhide is the heavier, more durable option for players who want a glove that lasts multiple seasons of hard use. Kip leather is the lighter, faster-breaking-in option for players who want game-ready feel sooner. The leather is pre-conditioned at the shop so the glove arrives game-ready rather than stiff out of the box.
How do I break in my new Tater custom glove?
Plan on 4–8 weeks of intentional break-in. Week 1: apply a thin layer of glove conditioner, let it absorb 24 hours, then start hand-flexing the leather daily (no ball yet). Weeks 2–3: wrap a ball into the pocket with a glove band or lace overnight, every night. During the day take light catch and easy throws — no hard line drives yet. Weeks 4–5: move to live catching, position-appropriate reps. Week 6+: game-ready. Avoid microwaves, ovens, and the "break-in shortcuts" you find online — they soften the leather temporarily but destroy long-term structure. Slow break-in builds a glove that lasts five to seven seasons; fast break-in builds a glove that bags out in one.
How do I care for my Tater leather glove?
Routine care: wipe down after every game with a dry cloth, apply a thin layer of glove conditioner every 3–4 weeks during the season, inspect laces monthly and re-lace if any are fraying, store with a ball in the pocket wrapped in a glove band, and keep the glove indoors at room temperature — not in a car trunk or damp basement. Use only dedicated baseball glove conditioner (lanolin-based). Avoid mink oil, petroleum jelly, vaseline, motor oil, and any internet "softening" hacks — they ruin long-term structure. End-of-season: one heavier conditioning treatment, store wrapped in a temperate environment.
What's the difference between steerhide and kip leather?
Steerhide is heavier, thicker, and more durable — built for hard daily use over multiple seasons. It takes longer to break in (closer to 6–8 weeks) but holds its shape for years. Kip leather is lighter, softer, and breaks in faster (closer to 4–6 weeks) — preferred by players who want a game-ready feel sooner and don't mind replacing the glove a season earlier. Both are MLB-supplier grade. Steerhide is the traditional pro choice for catchers and infielders who take heavy reps. Kip is the modern preference for outfielders and showcase players who want a softer, more responsive feel out of the box. Both options are available across the Tater glove line.
Do you offer team or bulk discounts on custom gloves?
Yes — team and bulk glove pricing is available for orders of 6 or more custom gloves. Contact our team sales desk through /pages/contact-us with your roster size, position breakdown, and timing. We'll send a custom quote within one business day. Note: glove build time is 8–10 weeks regardless of order size, so plan team orders accordingly — submit the order at least 12 weeks before your target delivery date to leave room for spec confirmation, production, and shipping.
What is the warranty on Tater custom gloves?
Every Tater custom glove ships with a manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Lacing repairs are covered for the life of the glove — if a lace breaks under normal use, send the glove back and we'll re-lace it. Structural defects (stitching failures, panel issues, or leather defects beyond normal break-in) are covered for the first 6 months from delivery, provided the glove has been used and cared for per our guidelines (proper break-in, no extreme heat or moisture exposure, dedicated baseball glove conditioner only). Damage from external causes (cleats, dogs, lawn mowers) isn't covered but we can usually repair them for a flat fee — contact us with photos.
