Where Are Bradley Baseball Gloves Made?

Looking for information on where Bradley Baseball gloves are made? You’ve come to the right place! In this blog post, we’ll give you all the details you need to know about where these gloves are manufactured.

Company History

Bradley Baseball gloves are made in Elkhart, Indiana, which is where the company has been based since it was founded in 1922. The company started out making baseball gloves for major league players, and it eventually began making gloves for the public. Today, Bradley is one of the most popular baseball glove brands.

Established in 1922

Bradley Baseball gloves were first established in 1922 by George “Buddy” Bradley. The company started out as a small, family-run business in Massachusetts. In the early years, Bradley focused on producing high-quality, hand-crafted baseball gloves for both professional and amateur players.

By the 1940s, the company had become one of the largest manufacturers of baseball gloves in the country. In the 1950s, Bradley expanded its product line to include other baseball accessories, such as batting cages and pitching machines. By the 1960s, the company was supplying gloves to major league teams, including the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees.

In recent years, Bradley has continued to expand its product line and is now one of the leading suppliers of baseball equipment and apparel in the world. The company’s products are sold in over 30 countries and are used by players of all levels, from Little League to the major leagues.

Family-owned and operated

Bradley Baseball was started in 1946 by Russell Bradley in Hustonville, Kentucky. Mr. Bradley had learned the art of baseball glove making from his father and grandfather who were both craftsmen in the same trade. After serving in the United States Army during World War II, Mr. Bradley returned home and started his own business.

For years, the company operated out of a small workshop attached to the family home. As demand for Bradley gloves increased, so did the need for more space. In 1955, the company moved to a larger facility in Danville, Kentucky where it remains today.

Now run by the third generation of the Bradley family, the company is still committed to making high-quality gloves that help players perform their best on the field.

Manufacturing

In 1902, John Bradley started Bradley Baseball Gloves in his home state of Pennsylvania. The company is currently headquartered in New York, but the gloves are still made in Pennsylvania. All of the company’s gloves are made in the United States.

Located in Elkhart, Indiana

In almost all cases, the answer is no. The big exception being if you buy a glove that is made in the USA. Just like anything else, when you factor in the cost of shipping, materials, and labor, it costs more to produce goods domestically.

That’s not to say that there aren’t benefits to manufacturing abroad. In many cases, it allows companies to produce a greater volume of goods at a lower cost. It also can provide employment opportunities in areas of the world that are in need of jobs.

At Bradley Baseball, we are proud to say that our gloves are made in America. We have our gloves manufactured at one of the oldest baseball glove factories in the country, located in Elkhart, Indiana.

The decision to keep our production here was an easy one for us. We believe in supporting American jobs and American workers. We also believe that there is a level of quality control that comes with manufacturing here at home that can be difficult to achieve elsewhere.

When you buy a Bradley Baseball glove, you can rest assured knowing that it was made with pride by skilled workers right here in the USA.
