Q. Briefly tell us about Fielder’s Choice who you are and how you got started?
A. Fielder’s Choice Goods is a American made accessory brand that focuses on re-purposing vintage American baseball glove leather in to classic goods. The idea of the brand grew organically, i was looking to start a small unique product line which slowly built steam in to having an influence on Baseball, genuine American heritage with fashionable accessories.
Q. What made you decide to make wallets out of old baseball gloves?
A. The uniqueness of how the leather has been broken in and aged. Everybody has different way to break in a glove, and with the random layout of our wallet templates you can create a look unlike any other.
Q. Are you looking to add any other designs? What’s the future hold for Fielder’s Choice ?
A. Yes, We have a few other products in the works that we will be debuting on Opening Day. We also carry caps from Ebbets Field Flannels, that feature our vintage glove leather.
Q. Which famous person would you love to get an order from for one of your wallets? and why?
A. To see a Ballplayer influence a kid to buy the glove with his signature on it, use it through his childhood, have it left for dead in a barn or a garage and have it repurchased, clean up and re-purposed in to a wallet and then hadn’t back to that now retired player would be pretty cool. We have worked with current Hall of Famers so the idea of a wallet possibly coming full circle, would be the ultimate goal.
