26mm Rawlings Super Size Baseball Glove Watch Strap Panerai Kaventsmann

Up for sale is an all handmade 26mm Baseball Glove Watch Strap.

The glove used for this strap was a huge Rawlings Super Size baseball glove.  What do you do with a huge glove that says “Super Size” right in the middle?  You make a huge baseball glove watch strap from it!

This baseball glove strap measures 26mm (no taper), 94 mm x 152 mm x ~4.7 mm thick.   I stitched this strap with black Tiger thread - the best waxed polyester thread available.  Edges were burnished smooth.  

This strap features “Edge-U-Cated heel” on the short side and the “supe-R-size” on the long side.  The strap comes with two floating keepers, “Rawlings” and “Finest in the Field”.   For this long strap, the first hole is 60mm from the lug end.  Normally I start at 50mm.  Extra holes can be punched upon request. 

The strap comes with a custom stainless steel Mott screw-in Pre-V style buckle.  I also have custom Mott bronze buckles, which can be exchanged at no additional charge.  If not specified, the strap will ship with a steel buckle as shown.  

Sizing:  Baseball glove straps that are over 4.5mm tend to wear a bit smaller than their dimensions, since most OEM straps are less than 4 mm thick.  If you’re on the fence, I suggest you go with a longer strap or reach out about a custom strap.  

Most of my straps will also work with Apple watches.  I can test fit adapters on them to make sure there is enough clearance.  Please ask before purchasing.

Why Baseball Glove Straps?

Baseball gloves are soft, thick and only get better with time. What better material to make into a watch strap?! The glove and thus the strap is soft yet durable and has acquired patina and character during its lifetime.

The strap is made 100% from the glove it came from, making each strap a limited edition!  Mott Straps is the only strap maker using the glove for the entire strap - even the bottom layer.  You get the look and the feel of a baseball glove with a Mott Strap.

The softness of glove leather makes the thickness work well on any watch, but especially with larger watches such as Panerai, Kaventsmann, Ennebi, Omega, etc.
