My 13YO son has earned himself a new 1B mitt w/straight A's.
He wants a Wilson A2000 which I like as well. But before we pull the trigger, should we be looking at something else?

GED10 has an A2000 1883B, he likes it alot. He really wants a Rawlings Pro Preferred PROSSC21B. Great job on the straight A's too.

The A2000 is an excellent choice. He will not be disappointed. Keep up the great job in school! 
I've heard nothing but compliments for the Wilson A2000, but my son would tell you to consider the Nokona family of glove. He got his first Nokona NK50 1B Mitt when he won the prize as the top fundraiser in LL; and upgraded to the N80 last year when he went to HS.
Nokona is the last glove maker actually making gloves in the USA. They are rebounding from their factory buring ot the ground last year. Great story about how the town rallied to help them press on.
Great gloves, great customer service. Take care of them, and the gloves will take care of you for years to come.

That is what I hear in our household from my 14 year old lefty. The Wilson A2000 is the way to go.
#1, 2 & 3 have all owned and loved their Glovesmith gloves, which by the way are also still made in the USA. You can order a stock glove or a custom made model with a wide variety of options, from color to webbing to type of leather. Great gloves - highly recommend them. Not that I think the A2000 is not as good - it's been the glove to have for many years - just wanted to put out a recommendation for our family favorite!
