Facts as the maker states them, read 21 Oct 2026

A 12.75-inch H-web outfield glove in mint with black accents, offered in right- and left-hand throw. Built from Premium Cowhide Nameshi leather with a conventional back, soft wrist liner, palm overlap, top-grain leather lacing, leather binding and rolled welting, and given a factory break-in.

Type	Outfield glove
Size	12.75 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	H Web What this means An open web shaped like an H. Common on outfield and third-base gloves; sturdy and lets the player see through it on fly balls.
Leather	Premium Cowhide Nameshi Leather
Hand	Right-hand throw or left-hand throw

Maker SKU	Z5-1275MNTBLK3
The maker says	The Z5 Craftsman Series undergoes an extra factory break-in process for a game-ready feel with very minimal break-in time. The Nameshi leather is lightweight, very durable and easily forms to the hand. The palm overlap increases pocket stability. Rolled welting helps the glove hold its shape year after year. All Z5 Craftsman gloves are Shokunin approved by its Japanese glove masters. SSK gloves have been handcrafted since 1946.

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.

LeatherstatedCowhide
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.
