Facts as the maker states them, read 24 Oct 2026

A 12-inch open-back Fortus Advanced Youth series glove with an I web, made of steer hide leather with a pre-treated leather palm, lightweight leather backing, wool finger padding, finger-stall supports and 100 tensile strength lacing laced through the fingers, listed for infield and outfield use. Sold in black for right- or left-hand throw.

Type	Youth fielder's glove
Size	12 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	I Web What this means An open web shaped like an I. Light, quick to clear dirt, lets the ball out fast. The infielder's standard.
Leather	Steer Hide Leather What this means Heavy, durable adult-cattle leather. Stiff at first, lasts for years. Most pro lines use it.
Back	Open
Hand	Right-hand throw or left-hand throw
Ages	Advanced youth; a professional grade glove suitable for young players

The maker says	The youth series mission is to produce a professional grade glove suitable for young players. All youth gloves are designed from pro patterns. The pre-treated palm and lightweight leather backing make the glove easier to squeeze. They are super easy to break in. The padding is beefed up in the Fortus line. Each craftsman goes through a rigorous apprenticeship.

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.
