Facts as the maker states them, read 20 Oct 2026

Exclusive Heart of the Hide catcher's mitt in the CM335 pattern with a 1-Piece Solid web, 33.5 inches, right hand throw, in Camel/Navy. Top-grade U.S. steerhide shell, shell palm leather lining, padded thumb sleeve, redesigned heel pad and R2G factory break-in; Player Break-In listed as 35.

Type	Catcher's mitt
Size	33.5 in What this means Measured from the heel to the top of the index finger. Infielders use smaller gloves (10.25 to 11.75 in) for quick transfers; outfielders larger (12 to 12.75 in); first base and catcher's mitts are measured differently. Tip: Bigger is not better for a young infielder. A glove they can close beats a glove that looks like a pro's.
Web	1-Piece Solid
Leather	Top Grade U.S. Steer Hide What this means Heavy, durable adult-cattle leather. Stiff at first, lasts for years. Most pro lines use it.
Hand	Right-hand throw
Ages	Pro/College, High School, 14U, 12U, 10U

The maker says	Designed for elite backstops who demand performance and presence. The 33.5-inch design offers ideal coverage and structure. Deer-tanned cowhide lining and padded thumb sleeve provide a comfortable, secure fit. A thinner heel pad allows for an easier close and little to no break-in is needed.

Fit profile

Stated comes off the maker's page; derived is worked out from what the maker states: its words, its leather, its numbers; graded is Patrick's call; unknown means the class is not known yet.

LeatherstatedSteerhide
Break-instatedGame-readyStated: page uses break-in or softness wording.
What this means
Soft out of the box and usable the first day. Made with softer leather that will not last as long as a stiff pro glove, which is fine for a growing player.
Tip: For most players under 12 this is the right answer.
Closing effortderivedMediumDerived from break-in class.
What this means
How hard a young hand has to squeeze to close the glove on a ball. Easy means a soft build and a smaller pattern; hard means stiff leather or a big mitt.
Tip: If your player drops balls that hit the pocket, closing effort is usually the reason, not the hands.
