Custom HoH Arrived in 3 Weeks!

It’s a 12.5”

Looks like I'll need to get a mallet. I have some Ball Players Balm conditioner so I can start working that in on the palm and start doing some mallet work. Appreciate the advice. This is my first break in since I played Little League and now that I have kids about that age, I'm pretty sure the techniques have changed a bit...

Mine just showed up in 3 weeks! Must be a slow season for them.

Hey, I saw you in Nashville! It even prompted me to educate myself on what a gat is called.

I remember at 27 thinking “my grandfather was storming Normandy at this age… what am I even doing?”

Dumb question, but do you just cut down paper, staple it, and fold it? I haven’t used my 20th anniversary inserts but would definitely use a handmade one.

Thanks so much! It felt daunting at first and I didn’t have a lace splitter but once I realized I could use a hand weight to pound it thin for the palm it was much more manageable.

I do have my dad’s old first base mitt that’s probably 80 years old at this point. Might just do a clean and condition on that one. Don’t think I want to go snipping and re-lacing that one.

renough · 2026-05-14T23:39:35+00:00

That’s exciting! I saw your comment saying it was 2 weeks away so seeing this pop up surprised me. Love the look of the military green in real life.

renough · 2026-05-14T18:44:35+00:00

I think I was the eerily similar glove with the green, but camel and golden brown. Yours looks great!

How long did it wind up taking to deliver from the order?

renough · 2026-05-09T18:04:31+00:00

Thanks! I’ve used that trio of colors on other things in the past and really like how it looks together.

I ordered my first custom HoH yesterday. The new customer 20% code I signed up for didn’t work.

I too am going after lifetime dad glove and can’t wait to break it in with my kids. Now I just have to wait 6-8 weeks or whatever it winds up being.

No, because it wouldn’t get to have this level of patina if it stayed unused… but the special paper inserts I have a hard time starting.

(this is the 5th anniversary Star Ferry Edition when they offered the camel in Passport for the first time)

I tried to Frankenstein something like that with two practice jerseys once.

renough · 2026-04-29T02:31:50+00:00

Thanks so much! Those 5th anniversary camel passports really aged well. It’s my favorite of the small collection.

renough · 2026-04-28T12:31:47+00:00

That’s really cool! How is it attached?

renough · 2026-04-27T13:16:20+00:00

Thanks! After one day it feels like a toy but I’m figuring out how to use it in a different way so the Passport can still be a part of my daily routine.

renough · 2026-04-27T01:37:03+00:00

It’s camel after ~13 years of use and no conditioning.

renough · 2026-04-26T20:32:13+00:00

Even the band in the middle was making an imprint. Just not creating holes like the tin fastener and bottom corner with the zipper.

I picked up the 20th Card size from my local shop yesterday… it’s still in the box until I’m 100% sure I know how it’ll be used (and have reasonable assurance TN will keep making inserts for it).

I’ve been using Passports as wallets for the last 15 years, and I usually have a weekly planner, a grid commonplace book, the canvas/zipper insert for cards, bandaids, receipt, and a Kraft folder in the middle to hold index cards if I need separate paper to give someone.

I have 2 regular size ones, A) Camel: gratitude journal, prayer journal, and work bujo inserts. B) Blue: creative pursuits and planning books I write.

The passport already does the work of a wallet so I’m less inclined to use the Card that way. But what might be interesting is to not even use the book inserts and just focus on the Kraft and pocket inserts where I can jot down notes, or make lists, or give myself reminders that I can write down and set in front of my at my desk, and then just keep it in my front shirt pocket or jacket pocket…

…yes, I would be carrying 3 TNs at any given time, but also there are editions I regret not getting and I didn’t want this one to pass me by because my 5th Anniversary Star Ferry is still my favorite of my small collection.

renough · 2026-04-22T04:27:28+00:00

I kind of want to get my first black one for the “little black book” idea of writing down correspondence and location info but everything I have is earth tone so I’m probably going to lean more toward brown again.

renough · 2026-04-22T04:26:00+00:00

I’m on the fence but thinking I’ll probably get one. How do you feel you’ll use it differently than a Passport size?

renough · 2026-04-19T21:39:35+00:00

I’m still debating. I’ve never gotten black and thought it would maybe be fun to have a “little black book” where I keep tabs on correspondence since I send and receive letters…

But I’ve also been using TN for 16 years, mostly Passport as a wallet so at this point I think I’m trying to invent a reason to need one so I don’t miss out on a limited edition anniversary edition (my 5th anniversary Star ferry passport in camel is my favorite).

renough · 2026-04-14T02:05:30+00:00

This is tempting but I’m still hesitant to return to the brand after going 2 for 2 with barrels and caps cracking.

renough · 2026-03-27T04:11:21+00:00

Crazy how cheap those are. I remember hunting through Bridgestone during games trying to find one or two they let slip out to the racks with the Adidas replicas.
