Japanese Wagyu….you know you have to say that with the same enthusiasm the same way the Japanese people say the word GODZILLA, those are two very sacred words!

I am familiar with the name brand but I honestly know nothing about their gloves, sorry.

It does have some very cool things going on with it!

If the leather is anything like the beef, no oil necessary.

I hate the double X laced at the bottom of that web with 3/16" lace. The X's don't break but a side does because it's not 1/4". I guess if you can afford that glove you can afford to relace it every year.

100% agree, every glove should be laced with 1/4” for the web, web spiral, and fingertips, every glove!

And I also don’t like the double X laced at the bottom of a I-Web, it doesn’t give what so ever, stays too stiff, I still have a NP7 that’s double laced, the bottom of the web feels like a brick wall. And it’s double laced in 1/4” Tanners!

Single lace feels so much better!

I won't bust your chops about Horween. The issue I have with most stock gloves is the laces are too thin. I'm curious as to why they don't use a thicker stock lace. Are those Filipino fingers to small and weak to pull them through during the manufacturing process?

I’ve often wondered about this very thing before, but I don’t think so, I think it’s the manufacturers being cheap! Don’t get me started on lace, very sore subject for me! It’s THE very first thing I look at when I unbox a new glove!

I distinctly remember 3 new gloves that I re-laced the web, spiral, and fingertips within an hour of unboxing, and these were high dollar, limited number exclusives! OCD is a killer!

When I had my daughter's Nokona Cobalt relaced by the AZ Glove Lab, it came back with thicker laces than what it left with. It made such a difference over the stock laces. I can't imagine the cost is that much of a difference maker.

I agree, it’s the one thing the manufacturers can do to greatly improve the performance and longevity of the glove for minimal increased cost!
