How to Customize Wilson Baseball Gloves

Getting a customized glove gives a personal touch.

According to Shigeaki Aso, the resident expert on baseball gloves for Wilson, glove customization is only available on certain types of gloves. Customization of a Wilson baseball glove takes a little bit of extra effort; however, once the glove is received it will give a personalized touch when a baseball player takes the field. Once ordered, Wilson creates the baseball glove with custom stitching on the back of the thumb part of the glove.
