Early 1990s era Zett Zi-Lux BIF-1303 13.5" First Base Mitt - Made in Japan - Excellent Condition (LHT) ** all baseballs and softballs in photos are ONLY to show sizing and are not part of the listing ** Really nice condition from the 1990s golden era of Made in Japan (MIJ) Zett manufacturing. This mitt shows very little overall use, holding a ton of its original factory stiffness and its clean, structured shape. The chocolate brown leather is thick, still shines, still pops, with a crisp, clear MIJ stamp on the pinky. The 'totally radical' embroidered multi-color Zett wrist patch is pristine with zero fraying. It has been professionally cleaned and lightly conditioned to preserve the hide without softening the frame. Zi-Lux was Zett's high end marker and it shows. Who This Is For & Why It Fits Your Game The Big, Elite Left-Handed First Baseman: If you are a lefty locking down 1B, give this a look. This glove plays BIG, it feels big, and if you're a player with huge paws you'll love it. Smaller players (or ones w/ small hands) are going to have trouble with the extended length. Such a great 'snap' to the leather. The Adult Rec Softball Slowpitch Lefty: At a massive 13.5 inches, this pocket will absolutely eat up softballs. Some baseball player out there will hate you for swiping this glove from the hardball market but it's a sweet crossover, and a lot of rec players like rocking the 90's logo. You could use it for catching or OF in those leagues too, don't let the shape hold you back. Why This Beats Buying a New $350+ Retail Mitt 1 Golden-Era Japanese Steerhide: Modern big box and retail first base mitts under $150 use thin, heavily processed cowhide that turns into a floppy pancake within months. This vintage Zi-Lux model uses heavy-duty, tight-grain Japanese steerhide that absorbs high-velocity impact and holds a rigid, unyielding perimeter. 2 True Structural Integrity: Because it still retains a good amount of factory stiffness, you get a firm, responsive break-in that molds exactly to your closing style rather than a pre-softened glove that lacks support. 3 Unmatched Value: You get handcrafted Japanese construction and pro-level leather protection for a fraction of what you would pay for a new, top-tier modern mitt.
