I believe I have the same glove and always wondered if it was 'white leather' when made, or the off white-ish/tan color as shown. Does anyone know for sure? Mine is very soft and feels great on the hand, as well.

Hi Matt, Reach produced gloves in many light colors such as mouse, drab, cream, tan, etc. Attached are a couple of catalog pages showing some of the whites and off-white colors they used on their gloves in the teens and 20's.

Hey Jim...
Great post, with the Catalog images! The frst Catalog is interesting to me, as it features both Full Webs and 1" Web Models at the same time... about equal in number. So I'd assume that this was perhaps right in the midst of the transition period. Can you tell us what year that top Catalog is from? Just curious... thanks

Thanks Jim.........I think that answers my question. I'm damn proud to say that I have a 'Mouse' colored Reach 1" web glove and I love it!

Hey Mark & Matt. That top catalog was from 1915. Yep, right in the middle of the transition period. Actually 1" webs were introduced just prior to 1910 and were made well into the 1930's. Full webs were made well into the 1920's as that web technology lagged. Although many full webs were produced in the 1920's, 1" webs were more popular by that time and the Doak laced web was king. Hope this helps a bit.
