Our One of One: Made to Order gloves give players access to our full library of premium leathers, rich color palette, and exclusive web options. Each build begins with top-grade Japanese-tanned hides and expands into custom web styles, lace colors, welting choices, and pattern adjustments. Customers can select every detail, then have the glove hand-shaped through our Yumomi process to their personal preference. A truly unique experience for those who wish to enjoy the pinnacle of traditional baseball gloves.


The Finest Leather

Apex Steer, Prime Steer, Apex Kip

We partner with the Tanners Council of Japan and select heritage tanneries to source hand-selected, hand-hung hides crafted through minimal-process tanning. This approach preserves the natural character, density, and longevity of the leather, ensuring every SLAPS glove begins with the finest raw materials available.

EXPLORE SLAPS LEATHER

HANDMADE PRECISION

Hand Crafted in Japan

Every SLAPS glove is handmade in Japan by skilled craftsmen who have spent years refining their technique. Each cut, stitch, and shape is done by hand, honoring traditional methods while building modern performance. Their precision, consistency, and feel for the leather ensure every glove leaves the workshop with integrity, structure, and true craftsmanship built into every detail.

TIMELESS PERFORMANCE

Time Tested Patterns

Our patterns — IF5, IF6, IF4, and OF8 — are intentionally designed to start neutral, giving players full control over how the glove ultimately plays. Each model provides a balanced foundation in structure and shape, allowing break-in to dictate pocket depth, finger position, and closure style. The result is a pattern that adapts to your game, not the other way around.

HAND SHAPED FACTORY YUMOMI

Game Shaped Perfection

Our One of One: Made to Order program gives players a fully personal break-in experience. We work directly with each customer to understand their closure, and grip preferences, then hand-shape the glove through our Yumomi break-in process. Every One of One: Made to Order glove includes this customized Yumomi shaping, delivering a glove built exactly for your game.
