This is my first kip leather glove and it is outstanding. I expected this glove to be on the same level as other gloves at this price point. You know, good gloves that will hold up for a couple of seasons before losing shape or getting too soft. However, I think I am wrong on this. This appears and handles like a true premium glove, just without the premium price. The breaking in is so easy. After just a few days, I have every confidence in gaming it. Everything, the laces, stitching, etc., appears to be of the highest quality. The pinky stall was large and accommodating to do a shift grip. If this glove proves to be durable and I expect it to, I will be getting a 13"to go along with this 14" that I got to patrol the outfield.
