Buckler - The Perfect Glove Product Description

"TO MY FELLOW GLOVEHEADS"

Even after 40 years dedicated to the art of glove-making, the question of what is most important when it comes to glove patterns remains elusive. The demands of the game have changed over time, shaped by the needs of the players themselves.

Modern players are not only more talented, faster, and stronger, but also more discerning - presenting complex and sensitive requirements that defy simple answers to this age-old question.

HAN, Blacksmith of Buckler, presents a solution: the Perfect Glove.

COMFORTABLY DURABLE Crafted entirely by hand, our gloves feature 100% hand-oriented patterns. This meticulous attention to detail ensures the finest quality materials and the highest level of craftsmanship, supported by extensive ergonomic and kinesthetic research conducted in-house.

Glove Leather & Tannery

Texas Steerhide Sourced from the Seto Tannery in Hyōgo-ken, Japan, Texas Steerhide is renowned as the best baseball glove leather in the world. The tanning process involves double vacuum drying of hides, increasing leather density and resulting in a smooth, tight grain texture with unparalleled durability.

USA Steerhide Buckler selects pro-stock leather from the top 5% of available Premium USA Steerhide. Processed by the world-famous Nakasaki Tannery, the focus is on lightweight leather with a smooth texture. These models are designed for high-level players who require optimal performance during play.

Java Steerhide Sourced from the island of Java in Indonesia, this premium Steerhide is denser, smaller, and more consistent than leather from other regions, resulting in thinner, lighter, and more rigid leather - perfect for baseball gloves.

Kip Leather Produced from young calves aged 6 months or younger, Java kip leather ensures the best results. It is also widely used by top luxury brands in the manufacture of shoes.
