Rawlings Trapeze Pro-12TC Japan Tan (12-inch)
I have been watching and wanting this glove on Ballgloves.com now for 2-years or more and I have seen it in stock and out of stock. I finally bought this glove in April 2025 to replace an early 1990s model (made in USA and round Rawlings Mark) of the Pro-12TC that I own and used through high school. Let me say I could not be happier with the quality and qualities of the new Pro12TC-JT. Initially, I was slightly disappointed that the glove was not offered in the same Horween leather from my 1990s model (I knew the leather was JT before buying) and was Japan Tan. This came from me being unfamiliar with Japan Tan leather. I have spend more time working the glove in and I have come to realize that the JT leather is really perfect. The JT leather has less slightly stiffness than the Horween leather gloves I have owned and the JT also has a softer feel comparable to a kid leather. The cut and build are perfect to form a deep pocket. The quality and execution on the glove construction is simply beautiful! My only regret in making this purchase is my own, the regret of waiting and not buying the Trapeze PRO12TC-JT two years ago when I first saw it on Ballgloves.com. I would 100% purchase this glove again and strongly recommend the PRO12TC-JT with my endorsement to anyone considering the Rawlings Trapeze and reading this review. Thank you Ballgloves.com for keeping this classic Rawlings model alive!!! Well done.

Pro12TC
This glove is beautiful. I have 2 Horween gloves, a Don Mortons Pro1000-HC (2019) and a Rawlings ProLabel pro204w-2ht both are spectacular and were difficult to break in, the 204 is still stiff. I was intrigued by this japan tan version of the 12TC and the indication of this version being more true to size than the previous Horween versions. The glove does have a wider rounder form vs being narrow and longer. It will definitely break in faster than Horween as it is a softer leather but will hopefully have good durability (I didnt really want to break in another Horween glove). The finger stalls are more narrow than the Pro1000 while the finger layout is balanced with what should be a wide deeper pocket. It feels great on hand but I will ultimately loosen the wrist strap. Seems like it will play wider than the pro1000. My only gripe is that this version comes with the thermo-form foam wrist liner which I've never had, I would prefer the wool liner...Ill see how I end up liking it.

Great shape
The shape on this version 12tc is more true to the old made in USA gloves from back in the day. Its round and wide. For some reason the previous horween releases were long and narrow but they seemed to have fixed it on this one. Nice and pillowy padding too.

Absolutely Great!
I had previously bought the PRO 12TCH that Ballgloves.com sold a few years ago. I liked it but it was longer than my OG PRO 12TC from the mid 90s. This new one seems to be the same size as the OG and is an incredible glove! Thanks for making these old school gloves with great new leather! Fast shipping too!
