Glove Relace | Full

• Multiple Color Options: By default there is one color choice. If you prefer multiple colors let us know in the Additional Info box what color you would like laced in and where!
  
• Full Relace:  All lace will be replaced with premium glove lace from a full stock of 40+ colors to choose from. Web, Finger Tops, Web Top, Palm, Heel, Thumb, Little Finger, Palm Adhesive, & Perimeter if the glove type calls for it are all included.
  
• Partial Relace - Upper:  Web & Finger Tops. Most typically we see customers choosing to replace these laces as they receive the most strain.
  
• Partial Relace - Lower: Palm & Heel.  This area receives much less strain during use, but on occasion this is requested so we leave it as a separate option.  This option also includes fresh palm adhesive.  
  
• Partial Options: Wrist Strap Tie, Little Finger, & Thumb.  These areas don't typically receive a lot of use strain, but contribute to the look & feel of the glove and are almost always requested.  By default these are included, but can be optioned out for a small savings.  If your glove does not have replaceable wrist strap lace then turn this option off.
  
• First Base & Catchers Gloves: These gloves require additional lace, time, and complexity with the perimeter lacing.  So there is a slight additional cost associated with the Full Relace and Partial Relace - Lower options. 

We approach glove lacing as both a restoration and a performance rebuild. Every glove that comes through GLUV WRX is evaluated for its intended use, player preference, and the glove’s structural design. We don’t just re-string gloves — we re-engineer them for balance, strength, and longevity.

Our standard lacing pattern is optimized for durability and playability:

• Web & Finger Tops: ¼" lace for added strength and reduced “pop” over time.
  
• Palm & Heel: 3/16" lace for controlled flexibility and cleaner pocket formation.
  
• Thumb, Pinky & Strap Tie: 3/16" or 3.5/16" lace depending on glove brand, player feel, and visual preference.
  
• Catcher’s & First Base Mitts: Reinforced with wider lace in high-stress areas to handle maximum impact.
  

Each section is analyzed against the glove’s original design to ensure tension, spacing, and break-in characteristics stay true to the glove’s identity.

Our lace is cut from leather averaging 6–7 oz (≈2.5 mm) thickness, the professional benchmark for pro-level glove construction. This ensures:

• Pro-Grade Strength: Exceptional pull resistance and reduced breakage under pressure.
  
• Moisture & Heat Resistance: Prevents hardening or cracking during heavy use.
  
• Durable Temper: Maintains structural integrity through seasons of play.
  
• Natural Stretch: Lace stretches approximately 15% over time, providing optimal pocket tension once fully conditioned and broken in.
  

Because lace can stretch unevenly depending on environmental factors (temperature, humidity, level of play, and glove conditioning habits), we calibrate tension by hand to ensure consistent feel and performance across every relace.

Lace used in the palm section is skived and thinned to create ideal flex and feel, preserving glove shape without compromising strength. Every lace installed by GLUV WRX is then treated with our hand-blended Glove Lace Wax formulated from beeswax and conditioning oils to:

• Seal against moisture
  
• Strengthen fiber structure
  
• Smooth friction for easier lacing
  
• Extend the life and color integrity of the leather
  

This treatment adds both protection and performance, ensuring the glove breaks in cleanly and lasts longer through the rigors of the game.

Whether restoring your established gamer or creating a bold new look, we match lace color and width to the glove’s brand standards and the player’s aesthetic preferences. Our wide color inventory and hybrid-width options allow precision customization.
