The Nokona Story:
Nocona Athletic Goods Company has been making
Nokona gloves and mitts continuously in Nocona, Texas USA since 1934. To
compete with cheap labor imports, Nokona does a minimum amount of advertising,
despite common corporate practices. Throughout the more than seventy years
since 1934, the image of finely crafted Nokona gloves remains high in the minds
of professionals and amateurs, who would own no other.
How to Break-In a Nokona Glove:
All Nokona gloves are made from
leather tanned to strict specifications. As a result, the glove should break-in
naturally by playing catch. In time, the shell will become more flexible while
the leather lining begins to form to the shape of your hand. Because a Nokona
glove is made with premium grade leather, the break-in time is shorter than
most other types of gloves that are made with inferior leather and materials.
"Quicker" processes should be avoided. Specifically, never soak a Nokona glove
in water. Avoid using any type of oil or silicone application which can clog
leather pores. Do not apply heat to the leather nor put it in a microwave.
Glove and Mitt Care:
Proper care will provide longer use.
Because the leather is of the highest quality, a Nokona glove is pre-oiled
naturally during the tanning process. Although many sophisticated leather care
products are prevelant, plain old petroleum jelly is the only recommended way
to re-treat a Nokona glove. To best apply petroleum jelly, rub it into every
area including the laces and inside the glove where cracking can take place.
Unlike liquefied oils, petroleum jelly won't soak through the padding.
