Nokona built its reputation on its legendary Walnut Leather and the Walnut Classic Series. Entering into a new era of Nokona gloves, the Nocona, Texas-based company is switching things up with the introduction of its new Walnut HHH Leather. Walnut HHH is a beefed up version of the Walnut Classic Leather for sturdier performance that some players prefer. The Triple H indicates a leather that is between 5.2 and 6 ounces, making these new Walnut gloves some of the stiffest that Nokona manufactures. Walnut HHH maintains the character, look, and feel of Nokona's classic Walnut, but with a stiffer feel. Once a Walnut HHH glove is broken-in, players are left with a glove that is soft and supple, yet remains sturdy - a true, classic.

Pros
I dont necessarily consider its being American-made a pro but I was happy to spend the extra money on it for that reason. As a glove it is a bit stiffer than a similarly made Wilson or Rawlings -something I like but there were definitely some hand cramps while initially breaking it in. I love the webbing and lace-work because it is strong and well-made/designed. The palm is not over-padded and the glove feels like it should -just an extension of my hand. This may be seen as a con if one is used to not feeling the ball hit center-glove. I like it because it makes me feel closer to the game. Its an incredibly comfortable glove once it starts forming to your hand but fair warning for the average play-catch-in-the-backyard player that will take quite a few hours -my break-in period was about 12. Overall it looks and feels great. If you've got the money and enjoy the game go for it it willl last you a while if not a lifetime. (FYI I havent quite had mine for a lifetime yet haha)

Good quality craftsmanship
Well constructed and good fit to the glove. A little more difficult to break in than some but expect this glove to last several seasons.
