Facts as the maker states them, read 24 Oct 2026

An 11.75 inch first base mitt from the Igniter Series with a native steerhide shell, sheepskin palm lining, cow leather finger lining, full-grain cow leather welting and binding, and USA steerhide lacing, offered in right- and left-hand throw and two colour combinations. The page says it uses the same patterns and components as pro-level gloves but is built for a kid's hand and needs 60 percent break-in.

Type	First base mitt
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.
Leather	premium native steerhide leather What this means Heavy, durable adult-cattle leather. Stiff at first, lasts for years. Most pro lines use it.
Custom	Yes
Hand	Right-hand throw or left-hand throw
Ages	built to work on a kid's hand
Also on the page	Size: 11.75" Shell: Naturally smooth, premium native steerhide leather Lining: Cushioned sheepskin for palm, premium cow leather for fingers Welting & Binding: Full-grain cow leather Wrist: Moisture Acrylic Fur Lacing: USA steerhide pro-grade lace leather Colors: Camel/Navy/Red Camel/Navy/Navy
The maker says	All-leather shell, palm, binding and welting designed and crafted by one of the most highly-regarded glove makers in the world. The same patterns and components used on pro-level gloves, but built to work on a kid's hand. Igniter Series 1B mitts require 60% break-in.

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-inderivedStiffDerived from stated player break-in of 60%.
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.
