Is there black butt "leather" or leather substitute such as escaine or ecsaine (can never remember which is correct) or similar material on the catchers? I wonder if the butt leather is impregnated with some kind of black powdery stuff. I also run into Kawais where the catcher buckskin really fuzzes up and sheds all over the catchers and backchecks, making a similar mess, but from a different source. --David Nereson, RPT -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
