Sandlot Goods
Kansas City, Missouri
About Sandlot Goods
At a 6,000 square-foot factory in Kansas City, Missouri, Sandlot Goods employees are manufacturing throwback products that instill memories popular at the height of the sandlot. The company’s trademark Yardball is made from American tanned leather with an all-natural wool and cotton core. It’s bigger than a baseball but smaller than a softball and isn’t super hard, so you can use it to play catch without using a glove. Sandlot Goods also makes stylish baseball caps with a vintage feel. But be sure to check the country of origin label, as some of the brand’s clothing is imported.
