Replacing the Velcro on gloves.

[DIB42]

I've got about 6 pairs of gloves that need "re-velcroed" (if thats the word).
Whats the best way to go about doing this? Is it a labor intensive process, or is it something I could kick someone's Grandma a couple bucks for? Or Upholstry shop, or can someone with basic sewing machine know how and an industrial machine, pull off?

What part of the glove needs velcro work, the strap or the backhand area?

Originally I intended on replacing both. It never occurred to me to just replace the worn out part. Interesting... With out doing a better inspection I couldn't really tell you, but its quite a few gloves so I imagine its a bit of both.

The strap should be easy but bypass grannies machine and have someone with a sewing machine capable of sewing leather. An upholsterer's machine will have stronger thread.

As far as the backhand Velcro, that's a little trickier. The way a velcro glove is made, 1. Velcro is sewn onto the leather, 2. then the lining is sewn to the leather leaving an opening to insert the foam, 3. then you close up the glove with the pipping around the edges. That's why you never see the velcro seam on the inside of the glove. An upholsterer could probably sew through the leather foam and lining, it's not the correct way but the only way without taking the glove apart. It'll wind up looking something like this. Hope this makes sense.
