Each one is built from \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-end Japanese Kip leather\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJapanese Kip Leather: The Flawless Upgrade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKip 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.
