Dude!!! Tell me how awesome that feels in hand!?!?! I can’t even explain how cool the baseball material feels in hand! Now you know! 👏Thank you for supporting my small business. 🫶🤝
In my completely unbiased opinion, I now have the greatest piece of art as a wallet EVER!! Everything from the packaging to the incredible details in the craftsmanship is amazing and to be able to enjoy this every day is a blessing! Thank you so much @SRoe86 ! #StitchandRoe

Meet Sky. 🐾
She doesn’t care about the noise, the tools, or the chaos of creating. If anything, it relaxes her.
We got her as a puppy around the same time I started working with leather, and she used to lay on my desk with me back in my apartment while I built wallets late into the night.
Now years later, in a completely different house, I let her back up on the desk for the first time… and it was like nothing ever changed. Same spot. Same calm little face. Same feeling.
Some things just feel like home.
This notebook will be available during my next wallet drop August 16th • 3pm EST.

Hard to believe this is my first Kenny Lofton mitt I’ve ever turned into a wallet.
After all these years… this legend finally made it to my bench.
I kept the Rawlings patch and that Special Edition stamp because gloves like this deserve to keep telling their story.
From chasing down fly balls to riding in someone’s back pocket.
Some leather just carries history differently. ⚾
Cleveland fans… where were you when Lofton was stealing bases?

Ever wonder what it takes to turn an old baseball mitt into a wallet?
It’s not as simple as cutting leather and stitching it back together — each piece has its own story, scars, and character.
First, the mitt has to be carefully taken apart. Every stitch removed. Every layer separated. The years of dirt, sweat, and game-day grit are cleaned and conditioned without losing that original feel.
Then comes the rebuild — reshaping and skiving thick glove leather, finding the right layout to showcase the markings, laces, or player signatures that make it special. Every edge burnished, every pocket aligned, every stitch pulled by hand.
And finally, it’s all brought back together — a piece of baseball history, reimagined to live on in your everyday carry.
Each wallet is 1-of-1. Each tells its own story.
Wallets drop tomorrow at 3 PM EST — limited quantities!
If you find it in your heart to reshare, please do — my small business greatly appreciates it. 🖤

If you’re not following @TalesfromtheAFL I can’t recommend it enough. Todd’s father was an antique dealer, and through his stories, Todd keeps his dad’s spirit and love for history alive. It’s a beautiful blend of memory and storytelling.
I recently sent @SRoe86 some old gloves and things that I found in my old man’s collections after he passed away in March. I posted the story on IG (@theoldmansplace), but Sarah suggested I post it here as well. Enjoy!

Mark your calendars! Wallet drop happens October 18th at 3pm EST! Available exclusively at stitchandroe.com more to come, so stay tuned for previews!
Some ideas just hit you out of nowhere like this one while I was driving down the road: What if a wallet could be all baseball? Not just a glove. Not just a ball. But both. ⚾
This wallet was stitched from three Rawlings baseballs and a well-loved mitt packed with dugout dirt, game-day grit, and stories in every seam. A true pocket-sized ballgame.
Catch it in my next wallet drop, and please enjoy the video it took forever to create and pack down into 90 seconds for you. 🤍 😉
