So that's how you get a 13.25" Vinci! I knew they had to have one somewhere. ;-)

Lol I think the BR46 is pretty close to true to size. That's alot of nice leather!

I don't care what the tape measure says but that glove is like putting a whole cow on your hand.

Yep. I use a TJ so I'm used to a big glove, but the BR46 is a BIG glove. Butterfly net comes to mind.

This pattern is a dead ringer for the 13.5" Rawlings SG96 -- another monster glove.

 

[smarkley3]

I was getting about 14" w a steel tape measure but, regardless its huge. I am working my way up the scale with age, weight gain and bad eyes, LOL.

BTW that was going to be my gamer but got new glasses

Quit giving him credit for my pictures!!!! I needed to show the glove in its natural habitat for the next couple weeks during the break in procedure! !

 

[smarkley3]

Just dreaming

my next vinci, inspired by the optimus trap with tan lace. optimus BR46 or baby TJ, tan lace, web, finger pad, and welting, brown binding. it will be a long time for me. so if any one does something like this post pics. my black BR46 is the stuff. thanks longball.

Agree with the vinci/rawlings comment. I have the 13.25 optimus and think its close to my 12.75 rawlings 302. The vinci has more palm and less finger length.

My Optimus 13.25 was 12.5, the replacement should be here soon

 

[smarkley3]

I hope so, if not maybe mate the BR46 w the 12.5"?

mine out of the box measured just under 13. Maybe 1/8 short. I really like the way it fits my hand. Only thing is the thumb kinda wants to bend backward when squeezing glove closed. My tj1952 did that too. that glove was just too big and narrow for my liking.

Never heard anyone say a TJ was too narrow before it's like a bushel basket.

The oG post had some buyers remorse and i will be getting this back, i can do some side by side and see how the BR46 plays up against the TJ. I usually use a 13" trap so the adjustment may be difficult, maybe one of my local bros that are bit bigger might help me w this/
