Grey is not on the customizer in tufftek & Jesse from THS , said they don't offer it in tufftek. really want a grey cuff & backhand. Sent him a mock up  with all portofino. How old are your gloves

 

as the above said, contact Eagle yourself. I find that there's very little that Eagle won't do for a pair of customs.

Contacted Kelsey & she said grey is not an option in tufftek. She said they could do it in Nylon. I said to her & Jesse , That I will take the whole glove in Portofino , but for some reason they don't give me a answer on that.

Portofino for the cuff roll and thumb with Tufftek backhand and fingers looks classic as well.

I'm going all portofino. the area's I have to use it ( because no tufftek grey ) are cuff , backhand & roll between thumb & side blocks. checked out portofino gloves on their instagram , they look very Cool & it's pretty tough stuff.

I love Portofino too. If the backand needs to be that because of the color I’d go 100% Pf as well. Can’t wait to see pictures!

Eagle makes a very nice portofino. I'm very interested to see the final gloves. curious to see the difference (other than the obvious) between grey portofino and silver tufftek. I imagine the silver tufftek is just a little brighter.

Anyone know what the widest glove Eagle makes is? Thinking it’s either X844 or CP94?

The X844 & X905 are pretty much the same glove , the 905 has angled backhand rolls. Both have classic high volume fit. I have a pair of X844's in size 14 , very loose fit. Did not want that last order , went with X905's size 13 w / + 1/4 finger length , worked out great.

After about 20 beer league games, one of the digital palms on my customs are starting to tear at the seam between the pinky and ring fingers. I know digital doesn't last as long as other palms, but I've never had this happen with a half dozen or so other pairs of gloves I've had with digital palms.

I’ve had it happen like that before. Sucks but worth it if you like the palm

So many things happening here, don't know where to start.  

 

Nate, the problem ISN'T the palm material.  The problem is lack of craftsmanship.

 

For starters, the entire problem here is the way the palm was cut.  As a manufacturer, we'd love to have one set of patterns to cut all things.  Unfortunately, when dealing with fabrics, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE NATURAL FABRICS, they respond to cutting in very different ways.  

 

Digital palms are made from goathide, so the stretch is different than that of synthetic fabrics, or, even a stiffer cowhide leather.  In this case, where the goathide is stretchier than other fabrics, you need to create a different pattern in order to account for what happens in both sew and use.  My guess is that they're using one die/pattern for all palms.

 

Looking at your photo, it appears that the base of the fingers where they meet the hand are all cut narrower than at the top.  You can actually see how much wider the fingers are cut towards the tip of the finger.  What this causes is stress on the stitch down in the crook of the fingers, and thus, the tear you are experiencing.  You can see it starting on the other two as well.

 

But there's also another problem you're going to be seeing sooner than later.  The index finger is sewn in crooked.  You can see the pull to the outside of the glove, yet the sewing of the mesh gusset is a dead giveaway to this, as you can see how hard it is working to pull the finger back in to where it should be.  Your finger is straight yet look at the pull!

 

Anyhow, digital is a unique fabric.  Of course it doesn't last as long as other palm fabrics, however, with care, you can get some good life out of it.

 

Not sure this is a warranty issue, unfortunately.  I'd send the pic to Pat at Custom Pro and see what he thinks.

 

Good luck!
