Think its a great plan to keep kit safe as my mum used to make all of ours to start with in a similar method with her sewing machine....think after 300 odd she got fed up and I had to outsource the job!
See plenty of £200+ bats with stud marks and dents on them as they aren't kept in a bat cover or protective sleeve!
I can imagine mate!
It's not that I would get fed up lol, it would be how quickly I could do them. Obviously once you get into a cycle of making them it'll get quicker an quicker!
I made some for my gloves because the amount of times I've left a glove at home, or at the club is silly, and the ones they come in haven't got a very nice feel to them. Plus for the albion lids not having bags, aero strippers as well, and also with the new expensive stretton foxes, you need to protect your investments IMO.
