Made in the USA
On Purpose
At Carolina Diamond Gear™, “Made in USA” is not a marketing phrase.
It’s a choice. And it’s a harder one.
Making products in the United States costs more, takes longer, and requires deeper relationships with the people who actually cut, sew, assemble, and finish our gear.
We choose it anyway!
Because the game deserves better than shortcuts.
Built on American Craftsmanship
Baseball has always been tied to American craftsmanship. From neighborhood sandlots to big-league stadiums, the gear has mattered because the people behind it cared.
We work with U.S.-based manufacturers who:
Cut and sew domestically
Assemble products in American facilities
Follow U.S. labor and safety standards
Take pride in what leaves their shop
These aren’t factories chasing volume.
They’re workshops built on skill, accountability, and pride.
Supporting Workers, Not Just Products
When you buy Carolina Diamond Gear™
You’re supporting:
American workers and their families
Skilled trades that are disappearing too fast
Small and mid-size U.S. manufacturers
A supply chain that values accountability over anonymity
That matters to us as parents, and it matters to the example we set for young athletes.
Honest About What “Made in USA” Means
We take country-of-origin claims seriously.
When we say Made in USA, we mean products that are:
Cut, sewn, and assembled in the United States
Compliant with FTC “all or virtually all” guidelines
Transparently sourced, without vague language or loopholes
If a product does not qualify for a full Made in USA claim, we say so clearly. No gray areas. No fine print games.
Trust is earned by being precise.
Why This Matters for the Next Generation
This brand was started by a young baseball player.
That means every decision we make sends a message:
About quality over convenience
About pride in where things come from
About respecting the people who make what we use
Choosing Made in USA isn’t about looking back on how things used to be.
It’s about teaching the next generation to build things the right way.
