Facts as the maker states them, read 20 Oct 2026

An 11.75 inch Pro Preferred infield glove on the 31 pattern with a Pro I web and conventional back, offered in right hand throw in Mocha with camel tan laces and stitching. It is built from kip leather with pro grade leather laces, a Pittards sheepskin lining, 100% wool blend padding and a wool wrist liner, with engraving and full custom options offered.

Type	Infield glove
Size	11.75 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	Pro I
Leather	Kip Leather What this means Light, tight-grained leather from young cattle. The premium choice for pro infield gloves: light and long-lasting, but stiff at first.
Custom	Yes
Hand	Right-hand throw

The maker says	The 31 pattern is preferred by infielders who need to make quick transfers. Hundreds of pros turn to these gloves every season. The kip leather is known for its tight grain and smooth feel. The Pro I web helps absorb the impact of any ball while maintaining quick transitions. The sheepskin lining wicks moisture away.

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.

LeatherstatedKip
Break-inderivedStiffDerived from stated player break-in of 70%.
What this means
Pro-grade leather such as Japanese kip or steerhide. Can take weeks to months to break in and a young player may not be able to close it at all at first. Lasts for years once broken in.
Tip: Do not buy a stiff pro glove for a player under 12 unless you are ready to break it in for them.
Closing effortderivedHardDerived: stiff build in a mitt or large pattern.
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.
