Since 1934 Nokona has been producing ball gloves for America s pastime right here in the United States. Made with top-grain American hides provided by American ranchers Nokona s leathers are tanned in the USA to their specifications. This ensures that the highest American and Nokona standards are met so that you can wear your glove with great confidence and pride. Nokona gloves are still produced in the very same small town in Texas in the original 100%2B year-old building where Nokona all started. They are made by Americans who carefully cut stamp stitch lace and embroider each glove by hand. Each Nokona has its own unique identity and feel based on the careful selection of leather per part and its hand-crafted construction. Nokona puts classic American workmanship into every glove using special techniques developed over the past 77 years. An old world tanning process is used in developing the unique random dye pattern found in Nokona s Walnut Crunch. Walnut is a full aniline leather hand crunched and baled in the wet blue state with the creases stained darker then vacuum dried with a feel top added to provide tackiness when handled. The natural oils and waxes incorporated in finishing further highlight the character and feel. Nokona WS-1350 Walnut Softball Glove 13.5 Features 13.5 Pattern Closed Web Closed Back One Year Warranty
