Basket webs

Probably a quick and easy question for the gurus:

I was shopping for an OF glove for DD. Ended up with this beauty thanks to @ANNASDAD :

Rawlings Horween Heart of the Hide PROT Baseball Glove 12.75 Inch Right Hand Throw

Online Baseball Gloves and Baseball Bats for sale. In business since 1971. Find brands like Rawlings, Nokona, Marucci, Victus, All-Star, and many others to help you with your baseball equipment needs.

ballgloves.com

However, we like basket webs in this house, so during my search, I played around with the Rawlings shop for a while, and noted that it at least appeared that basket webs were not available in anything over a 12.5 glove. (Admittedly, I did not try too hard to disprove this theory.)

I was curious if anyone knows why that would be?

Because they're ridiculous, antiquated, and loved by only two or three old souls (but fantastic old souls) here!

On the builder, basket webs were available for all five 12.75" glove models, and I only checked one 13", a basket web was also available for it!

Money will get you just about anything you need!

Like I said, I half-assed looked, and I think it was mostly at stock, not customs.

I grew up with a Reggie Jackson model BW from just before HS until I bought my A2000 1799OT 4 yrs ago (and yes, it burned my hand a little when I put it on). So, Rawlings and BWs became engrained in my DNA.

So, I guess my question turns into why are they not offered in stock gloves over 12.5? Is it only a popularity issue, or is there some functional reason?l

Follow the money, I'd say they're just not big sellers?

My Nokona W1300 is my go to glove. Great glove some may say a little heavy, but if you lift weights it shouldn't be bad.

Yeah, the world has been in decline for a while. Not enough folks left with great taste.

Not to mention, those of us who had them, probably kept them around too long instead of buying new gloves every couple years.

Pretty glove, but it even looks heavy.
