I don't think anyone is "as good" but ITR does some great work:

Anyone as good as them?
No. There won't be for a long time, if ever. ITR Hockey is your best bet at the moment.
Repalming is very difficult, time consuming, and hard on the hands. It also requires an expensive and heavy-duty industrial sewing machine. Many can slap a pre-made palm onto a glove without removing the binding and cuffs, but doing it at a "pro level" requires tons of skill and concentration. If your tension is off or you miss a few stitches, the entire repalm is screwed up. I've tried it and it's much harder than I anticipated. I will not offer it as a service for a very long time, if ever.
"What is your lowest/best price?" is NOT an offer.

They have a huge back log of customer gloves plus the constant stream of pro gloves. Ken said that once they get through the current customer gloves they will accept more in small amounts to do in the off seasons
God bless those two. Have you heard if they're training apprentices to carry on their work when they retire?

End of an era. It was a great run. They did some amazing things. I've got 3 pairs they worked on that are still some of my favorites.

I figured this would be coming sooner rather than later. The few repalms I attempted killed my hands, now imagine doing that for thousands of gloves over the course of 8 years with CPR and years at Warrior as well. I hope Pat and Ken find success in whatever avenue they choose next. They are both A+ human beings.
