USA Made Quality Control

[docglov]

If I might have the stump for a minute. The main reason I have promoted my USA gloves all these years Is because someones relative is making them!
Not that the stitches are any straighter. Its very diffcullt to be perfect when you have to do all 16 sewing operations your self as apposed to to one person sewing the same line a 1000 times a day. A not so perfectly lined stamp doesn't have much effect on a ground ball. But what I want for a difference is the glove still being there for your grandchild like the one my grandson has. ( XFCB) Besides there has to be some who hate my gloves I can't possibly make for for everyone.
That being said yes there is NO one who can match our Phillipine gloves for quality, But just like cars no everyone wants the same and if preformance is what counts then pick your favorite as there isn't many ways to make an bad glove unless its in materials.
Thank you and besure and vote

Bob, you know my main interest in starting this thread was that it seems that back in the day the choices of materials, and to a smaller extent the manufacturing of gloves, seems to have been more important than the bottom line for makers. The painted Pro Preferred leather is a good example. However, anyone that complains about an out of center patch or a stitching that is slightly off on one of your custom made gloves should buy one made from a factory. As an architect I can appreciate the presence of the human hand in things we build and draw (especially in drawings). Your work is exceptional and I would expect to see traces of a hand made job on all of your work. Keep it up and I think I can speak for the forum when I say that your work is very much appreciated.

A few years ago I bought a Trevino Catcher's Mitt that proudly displays a "Made in USA" tag on it. I don't know if they are still in business, but I think they were based in Texas.

My apologies to anyone who has seen these pictures before, but these pics are for newer viewers.

This glove is hard as a rock. I wonder what it would be like broken-in.
Great materials, great craftsmanship, wonderful product.
