Nokona has handcrafted baseball and softball gloves in Nocona, Texas since 1934 and is the last major glove maker to have never moved production offshore. Each glove is cut, stamped, stitched, laced and embroidered in Texas. Because some lines are built from imported specialty leathers — Australian kangaroo, Japanese calfskin — and Nokona marks its goods “Made N USA” rather than an unqualified “Made in USA,” the record sits at the assembled tier, with the domestic-leather Steerhide and Bison lines the closest to fully American.
