JH Pro Gloves' entire pitch is personalization — build a glove that's genuinely yours. Right now, that moment happens inside Angle3D, a white-label 3D configurator embedded on jhprogloves.com via iframe (the tool loads from app.angle3d.co, not the brand's own infrastructure).

It works, but it's a rented experience: a generic "LOADING 3D CONFIGURATOR" state before the tool even appears, a UI that has nothing to do with JH's brand language, and real gaps underneath — including a live configuration error sitting on the site today ("No customization has been created for this 3D model"). For a DTC brand built entirely around personalization, the single most important five minutes of the customer journey is happening inside somebody else's product.

The current live builder on jhprogloves.com — a white-label Angle3D embed, not a native JH experience.

JH isn't competing on leather alone. Competitors like 44PRO, Marucci, and Rawlings are all investing in build-your-own experiences that feel like core product, not a bolted-on plugin — and in a category where the builder is the pitch, an off-the-shelf embed puts JH at a structural disadvantage before a single glove ships.

Three real competitor builders, side by side — the bar the native JH experience has to clear.

As a business partner in JH Pro Gloves, I'm replacing the licensed embed with a builder written natively for the brand — no iframe, no third-party runtime, full control over every pixel and interaction end to end, running on Three.js/WebGL directly in the browser.

What's live in the builder today: real-time decal-based personalization (custom text and logos placed directly onto the 3D leather), a library of dozens of typefaces for nameplates and stitching, multiple glove models and web patterns to switch between, several environment/lighting scenes, and a "resume your build" flow so a customer can leave mid-design and pick up exactly where they left off.

This isn't a screen recording. It's the actual builder, running live — rotate the glove, switch materials, place your own text and logo, and see it render in real time.

This is an active, ongoing partnership — the native builder above is what replaces the Angle3D embed on jhprogloves.com.
