JH Product Q&A

What size should I get?

Sizing depends on your position and preference. If you're between sizes, going slightly larger gives more versatility. See the full size guide near the top of the page for a chart by position.

What makes JH gloves different?

Every JH piece is built from premium, hand-selected leather-not mass-produced stock. We focus on feel, structure, and longevity over shortcuts.

Are these gloves game-ready or do they need break-in?

They're designed to be playable quickly while still holding structure. Expect a short break-in period to shape it to your hand.

How long will the glove last?

With proper care, years. JH gloves are built for durability and performance, not just a season.

Where are JH gloves made?

Crafted using premium materials with a focus on detail and consistency at every step. Made in the same factories the "big" guys are made at.

How fast is shipping?

Orders are processed quickly and shipped securely. Tracking is provided once it leaves our hands. Typically 4-6 weeks for Archived and Custom gloves. Ready to Ship gloves ship out in 2-3 business days.
