Rawlings' top of the line glove is now made in Phillipines and it is $250+. I called Rawlings and asked them how they cannot make money by producing the same glove in the U.S. and charging the same price.
The minion at the call center said she didn't know... I told her to pose that question up the chain and I would like a call back with a response. I'm still waiting for the call 2 years later.
My next glove purchase will be from Nokona (made here in Texas): NOKONA
I always salivate over the Nokona’s at Academy. Beautiful leather and workmanship.
