I just found my old baseball mitt, but the leather is dry and cracked. How can I restore/repair it?

Question

The mitt is only about 10 years old, I used to take care of it regularly, but it's been neglected for a couple of years now. I've used glove conditioner, but it really doesn't seem to help, any suggestions?

Answer 1

YOU CAN

REPAIR IT BUT IT

WOULD BE CHEAPER

TO GET A NEW GLOVE

Answer 2

you can repair your relationship with your GLOVE by not calling it a mitt.  Its been 40 years since we've called them mitts.

Answer 3

time for new one

Answer 4

I think it is time to get a new mitt. I get one every two to three. Breaking into it will take a while. Just start breaking into it as soon as possible. Unless this glove is everything to you then idk.

Answer 5
