Breaking in a 1961 for someone right now. Very, very nice glove. I like the way to pocket forms on the H-web a little better. I suggest the black leather, just buttery.
Keep in mind, that due to the deep pocket that Vinci gloves develop, they seem to play .25" to .5" shorter than your standard baseball glove, which has a longer profile and narrower pocket.
I've used my RV 1961 for a bit over a year now. I think it plays exactly the size it is. Hmmm. I also believe its the most underrated glove Vinci makes.
