bruce79 Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I just received my Europelli baseball strap in the mail today and it is indeed a superb strap...high quality and very soft...and the service was very fast and friendly. The question I have though is are these straps supposed to be an orangish color. This may seem like a stupid question but the picture of the strap on the eruopelli website shows a natural tan color and the strap I received today is more orange than tan. Is this how they look prior to breaking them in? Any insight would be appreciated. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estaban Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 It should be orange like a new baseball mit. It will have a nice tan patina with frequent use. Just use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasigi Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 People kept calling mine orange but after wearing it for a while some are now saying that it's more tan like. Wear it, love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Yeap.. orange at the beginning tan later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4fun Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 This is definitely one of my favorite strap, especially after gaining the tan patina. The tanning process seems much faster on this baseball mitt leather than others. Just rub it using fingers, you can instantly see the difference.

swdivad Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 I reckon it still has a ways to go and will get much darker the more I wear it.... It is a wonderful strap! Before: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 You have to remember that your PC monitor is unlikely to be calibrated so what you see on your screen is not always the same as the actual colour of the photo - something to bear in mind when looking at colours critically.

True... Mine actually looks darker than in the photo... The flash has brightened it up considerably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce79 Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 You're right, I've bought several straps and they all look different than I expected them to. Photos can be very deceiving/misleading when it comes to straps...sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linder Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Some glove oil would darken it for sure Thinking about buying a PAM just so I can get one of these baseball straps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
