Wilson A2K 1786 11.5" Infield Baseball Glove - Right Hand Throw : Sports & Outdoors

Description

The finest cuts of leather. Meticulous construction. Three times more hand shaping by Wilson master technicians. Made from the top 5% of Pro Stock Select leather, each hide is chosen for consistency and flawlessness, so the A2K baseball glove is the most premium glove available. To make the game's best ball gloves, you need premium leather. Our Pro Stock and Pro Stock Select Leather comes from the most consistent and high-quality hides in the world, giving you a durable glove with great feel and a perfect break-in. Our craftsmen place the cutting die into the leather and use a hand-operated machine to cut all the pieces that will ultimately come together as a ball glove. The position and direction of each cut is a crucial part of the process. HOLE PUNCHING: Check and double-check. We ensure each and every hole punched in the leather is clear for the next steps in the process, namely the lacing of the glove. This also helps prevent creases in the leather, giving the finished product a smooth palm. All embroidery actually happens before the glove is assembled – because the only way to embroider leather is when it’s flat and fits easily into the sewing machine. Our craftsmen then start stitching the glove – and do so inside out, assembling the various pieces of leather that were cut out in Step 2. TURNING: Here, all our gloves are turned back right side out and craftsman begin to shape them using hand-shaped hot irons and rods. The lining is also inserted into the shell right after this point. LACE MAKING: At this stage, we cut thin high-quality strips of leather tanned specifically for baseball glove laces. We use these thinner strips because if lacing is too thick, it impacts how well the glove opens and closes. GLOVE LACING: You guessed it. This is where the magic happens and everyone’s hard work starts to come together in the form of a Before final inspection, our craftsmen focus on shaping the glove so when you receive your new gamer, it’s already got the great Wilson shape you’ve come to love.
