Gem Gloves Flawless Collection Japanese Kip Leather Softball Fielding Glove - GEM192 Ironclad

Gem Gloves Flawless Collection Japanese Kip Slowpitch Glove

The Gem Gloves Flawless Collection Slowpitch Fielding Glove is the most premium glove Gem Gloves has made. Each one is built from high-end Japanese Kip leather, a full step up from Gem's American Kip gloves. Japanese Kip is widely considered some of the finest glove leather in the game. It is softer and finer-grained, and it stays light on the hand without losing structure. The result is a glove that feels game-ready sooner, responds to every squeeze, and holds its shape season after season.

Japanese Kip Leather: The Flawless Upgrade

Kip leather comes from younger cattle, so the hide is lighter with a tighter grain than standard steerhide. The Flawless Collection goes further with Japanese Kip, a premium grade known for its buttery feel, consistent quality, and fast, even break-in. If you've played one of Gem's American Kip softball gloves, Flawless keeps the slowpitch-first design you know and adds the leather serious players look for.

Slowpitch-Specific Pattern With a Classic H-Web

Built for the authentic slowpitch fielding glove player, the Flawless uses a slowpitch-specific pattern paired with a classic H-Web. The web gives you a secure pocket and solid control, and its open design lets you track the ball on high pop-ups and hard-hit liners.

30% Factory Break-In, 70% Shaped by You

Each glove ships about 30% factory broken-in, leaving 70% for you to mold to your hand and fielding style. Because Japanese Kip is naturally supple, that break-in goes faster and more evenly than with stiffer leathers. Keep it in top shape with conditioners and tools from our glove care collection.

Impact Protection and All-Day Comfort

Enhanced palm padding takes the sting out of heavy slowpitch contact, so you can field aggressively through every inning. A plush wool wrist liner keeps the fit snug and comfortable through doubleheaders and tournament weekends. A padded thumb sleeve adds protection without limiting mobility.
