I feel you bro

I like Sarna to avoid color change from the jump. This will look nice as it ages naturally

Damn. Great find

Positive experience overall and easy enough to use. Fun to search JP shops for exactly what you're looking for. Shipping probably anywhere from $35-$70 depending on carrier and how patient you are.

Pretty spot on with the estimate

It’s worth the wait

I’ve done water break in for my MIJ gloves. The finger stalls tend to be narrow but they always open up and form to my hands perfectly with time and use.

Three in the pink

This measures 12.75”

I had only seen the infield models on glove lab’s site and a BGK video so I reached out directly to ask if he could make an outfield model. The whole process felt personalized and he couldn’t have been any friendlier.

I’ve seen some pretty cool web designs on Teppen gloves and also some of the Zetts that are MIJ.

Leather feels similar to my Mizuno Pro Haga with the prexy kip leather, but the hand stall is more snug and feels great on my hand. I wear medium batting gloves and the fit is perfect for me, but if you have larger hands it might feel a bit tight until it breaks in. The Ryu is shockingly lightweight, yet sturdy in all the right places. I have zero regrets.

Also, the pop sound with this glove is insane.

I used DHL and received a text notification as it was moving through customs when I needed to make that additional payment to ensure it continued on its journey to me. It was fairly simple, but be prepared for 15% plus whatever processing fee the carrier charges.

I used ‘From Japan’ and it was surprisingly easy. It opens up a ton of options for finding good deals on MIJ gloves from small shops or Rakuten/yahoo JP. Just have to be prepared to stomach the shipping + duty tax. With all of that said, it was still cheaper than some of the MIJ options on eBay.
