The Process

No shortcuts. From the hide to the pocket.

Every Convicted glove follows the same uncompromising standard — from the leather we choose to the way we break it in.

Five Steps

How a Convicted glove is made

01

The Leather

It starts with true Japanese Kip — chosen for its ultra-tight grain, lightweight feel and unmatched structural durability. No substitutes, no blends.

02

The Build

Position-specific patterns built to hold their shape season after season, game after game. Every detail is there to help you on the field — not to look good on a shelf.

03

The Inspection

Each glove is checked for leather quality, stitching, lacing and shape before it’s ready for a player’s hand.

04

The Break-In

Optional professional break-in, tailored to your exact pocket preferences — so your glove is game-ready without compromising the leather’s integrity.

05

Game Ready

Your glove arrives ready to work: a glove that feels like an extension of your hand from the first rep.

Why Japanese Kip

Lighter. Tighter. Built to last.

Kip leather comes from younger, smaller cattle, which gives it a noticeably tighter grain and lighter weight than standard steerhide. The result is a glove that feels quick in your hand while keeping the structure you need to field with confidence.

  • Ultra-tight grain
  • Lightweight feel
  • Unmatched structural durability
  • Holds its shape game after game
