Things You'll Need:
- New leather lacing Leather conditioner Scissors Pointy tool
-
Step 1
Use a leather conditioner or glove oil on the new lacing before beginning work. This will make the leather laces easier to handle and will cause the glove to have a more comfortable fit upon completion.
-
Step 2
Look at the current lacing in the glove to get a feel for the lacing pattern. Understanding the pattern in advance will make re-lacing much easier.
-
Step 3
Remove a small section of lacing slowly and gently. If the lacing is stuck, cut it carefully with scissors. Do not remove more than one or two holes worth of lacing.
-
Step 4
Tie a very tight knot in one end of the new lacing, and push the other end through the first opening where the old lacing was removed. It is easiest to use a pointy tool, such as a leather awl, to get the lacing through the holes. Weave the lacing in the same pattern as the old lacing.
-
Step 5
Continue up the glove, removing lacing in small pieces and following behind with the new lacing in the same pattern.
-
Step 6
Tie a new knot when you finish a section of the glove. Make sure that it is snug against the glove, and cut off any excess lacing as close as you can without damaging the knot.
-
Step 7
Repeat the steps for all of the different sections of the glove until complete.
