Rawlings Heart of the Hide Timberglaze DCT 13-Inch First Base Glove
Bring a traditional professional feel to the field with this exclusive Rawlings Heart of the Hide Timberglaze glove. Built with premium Heart of the Hide steerhide leather, this glove features the rich, distinctive Timberglaze finish and the sturdy, substantial leather feel that many serious players prefer.
This is a traditional, firm Heart of the Hide glove—not a Ready-to-Go (R2G) model. The leather is intentionally stiff and structured, giving players the opportunity to break in the glove themselves and shape the pocket to their preferences. If you appreciate a durable, substantial glove with a classic pro-level feel, Timberglaze delivers a distinctive look backed by Heart of the Hide craftsmanship.
This 13-inch first base model features a professional web design, a padded thumb and an index finger pad. The interior is finished with a soft fur wrist lining, a distinctive feature on this Heart of the Hide exclusive. Fur wrist lining is more commonly associated with Rawlings Pro Preferred gloves, making this Timberglaze model a unique combination of traditional Heart of the Hide leather and a premium wrist feel.

Masterly Crafted
This glove is beautifully constructed with high-quality leather. It was definitely stiff when it first arrived, but it is breaking in nicely with gradual work as it should. I am playing it two-in-the-pinky, finger-out.

Stunning!
The DCT pattern is every bit as good as advertised, maybe better.
This is not a Rawlings R2G glove, and that is a compliment. It has real structure, but the break-in was easier than I expected. The glove starts to give where it should without ever feeling like it is going to collapse. You can tell it will hold its shape, which is exactly what I want from a first base mitt.
The Timberglaze leather is gorgeous. Sultry, sophisticated, and full of character. After I treated it with a little Renapur, the color and depth became even better. It did not change the glove so much as reveal more of what was already there.
I am going to play this one two in the pinky, finger out, and it is supremely comfortable that way. The pocket feels natural, the shape feels right, and the whole glove has that classic Rawlings confidence without feeling ordinary.
This was also my first purchase from Ballgloves.com, and they were excellent. The glove shipped immediately, and when I asked a few technical questions about the Timberglaze leather, they engaged promptly and thoughtfully over email. That kind of service matters, especially when buying a glove at this level. I will absolutely buy from them again.
Beautiful mitt. Excellent pattern. Serious leather. This one lives up to the reputation. -
Timberglaze DCT
Just got my Rawlings TimberGlaze DCT first base mitt and wow... this thing is a beast. Out of the box, you can instantly feel the quality. The leather is stiff but super high-end—typical Heart of the Hide feel, which I actually like because I can shape it exactly how I want. You’re not getting a floppy pancake here.
