Yardley Sports

Creating and making things is an important part of Yardley Sports. I draw inspiration from many areas, including vintage athletics, cars, music, and shoes. Running a business while balancing the art side of things is challenging. I could create all day and be happier doing that than making any sales in that same day.

With that being said, I am focusing my time and energy on things that I love and think are cool. I hope you enjoy some of the new projects, like this small ball bag I’m working on, which will be accompanied by a larger one. These will feature our Trusty Dog logo.

We’re also updating our Ibex glove builder and creating a new custom baseball line. I’m so excited about this. More to come!

For now, thanks for following along. I hope you enjoy a few behind the scenes looks at the tools I use to prototype and make things like the ball bag.

Thanks for checking our stuff out.

Best,
Braden Yardley

Swipe to the end to check out this handcrafted catcher’s mitt made from SB Foot suede with camel Tennessee Tanning lace and Kodera binding leather.

This catcher’s mitt was made with 11 pieces of leather, 1 piece of foam padding, 1 camo wrist liner, and over 300” of glove lace!

Piece by piece, they come together to create some of the most battle tested equipment on the diamond.

This one is available now on our website through the Service and Legacy Collection.

Hey all,

These logos are a callback to one of my favorite vintage sports brands. I have been working on them late at night over the past few days, and they have been a fun reminder of why I love classic design.

I am going to step away from Instagram for a bit to focus on a few projects.

If you need to get ahold of me, please send a message to [email protected] and I will get back to you.

See you again soon!

We will be splitting our time between Beaver and Cedar City with the trailer. We will have discounts on products and plenty of giveaways, including batting gloves, wristbands, and arm sleeves while supplies last.

Note: Our shop dog, Trusty, is getting old and has been very sick. We plan to keep the trailer open from 9:00 to 5:00 each day, but we may have to leave unexpectedly if he needs us. Thank you for your understanding.

A couple of my recent projects and reels have brought in a lot of new followers, so I wanted to introduce you to some of the work behind them.

Back in 2016, I sat down behind a sewing machine and made my first catcher’s mitt. It was terrible. It didn’t even close. But it was a start.

I’ve always enjoyed thrifting and finding unique materials that could work on gloves or shoes That curiosity led me to build gloves using retired fire hose, firefighter turnout gear, and most recently, a retired military uniform. I already have another project in mind, and I think you’re going to like it.

My goal is to eventually make these catcher’s mitts, and someday fielding gloves, available to everyone. For now, I’m finishing a few pieces for our Service and Legacy collections, which should be available later this August.

Thank you to everyone who has followed along and supported these projects. I look forward to sharing whats next!
