Highway 21 builds riding jackets, gloves, boots and rain gear aimed at V-twin riders who want protection that still looks right on a cruiser rather than a track bike.
The Highway 21 Louie gloves in black are crafted from genuine deer skin leather, offering V-twin motorcycle riders a blend of classic style and robust durability. Their single-layer construction ensures a comfortable, tactile experience on the controls.
These gloves feature a drum-dyed finish that not only provides a rich, deep black color but also allows the leather to age gracefully, developing a unique character over time. The tooled exterior details add an authentic touch, making these gloves a perfect complement to any cruiser or touring setup. Experience enhanced grip and comfort without sacrificing style.
Whether you're taking a short hop or embarking on a cross-country adventure, the Highway 21 Louie gloves are designed to perform. Their quality construction ensures they can withstand the rigors of the road while providing the comfort you need. These gloves are an essential addition to any V-twin rider's gear collection, blending seamlessly with both modern and vintage setups.
What size are these gloves?
These are size 4X. Please refer to Highway 21's official sizing chart to confirm the best fit for your hands before ordering.
Will these gloves work for both riding and off-bike use?
Absolutely. The genuine deer skin leather provides the necessary grip and feel for riding, while their classic style makes them suitable for everyday wear when you're off the bike.
Do these gloves require a break-in period?
Yes, like all genuine leather, these deer skin gloves will soften and mold to your hands with wear, providing a custom fit and enhanced comfort after a few rides.

Really like the designs tooled into the leather from the shift pattern to the desings on the cuffs the gloves look really cool. True fit sizing seems to be correct, have worn for multiple cold Michigan rides and hands stay warm. Well worth it for the money.
The leather for these gloves is very thin. Even at the price point of $45, they're thin. I got a Large which fits well, however, the normal amount of pull to get these gloves on caused the seam from the thumb in the palm to tear. There are also small tears starting to form in the leather itself at the bottom of the palm. Keeping in mind the fit is correct, the only way to get these on without causing a tear is if your hands are bone dry. Literally any moisture on your hands creates enough friction to tear them. Little sweat? Tear. Washed your hands and didn't THOROUGHLY dry? Tear. Humidity over 55%? Tear.<br />They look and feel good, but these are not made to be worn and used consistently. As expected, they provide little to no protection like similar styled gloves.
These are super thin. Probably not much thicker than latex gloves. They look nice but not much protection at all. A decent leather work glove is much better protection. Made in China too. Just all around way too flimsy for any kind of protection. Only way I would get these again is if they costed about 1/4 of the price and I needed some gloves to take a selfie in.
We sent them back. My husband has pair of these in another color and loves them, wanted the black ones. The pair we received was poorly made, the left index finger was twisted when sewn, looked and felt odd.<br />We will try reordering.
Comfy, look good, good dexterity....after only 2 days of the riding the leather is looking worn. Alright for $40. Time will tell.
