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 and tan are designed for V-twin motorcycle riders seeking classic style and reliable protection. Crafted from genuine deer skin, they feature a tooled exterior and a rich drum-dyed finish. Their single-layer construction delivers both durability and a direct feel for the controls.
These Highway 21 Louie Gloves are more than just hand protection; they're a statement. The genuine deer skin leather offers a comfortable, broken-in feel right out of the box, with heavy-duty stitching that ensures longevity. The two-tone black and tan design, combined with the drum-dyed finish, provides a timeless aesthetic that complements any Harley-Davidson or Indian Motorcycle.
The single-layer design of the Louie Gloves is ideal for riders who prefer maximum dexterity and a clear connection to their bike. They are perfectly suited for street riding in mild to warm conditions, providing essential protection without sacrificing comfort. As you log miles, the deer skin will soften and conform to your hands, enhancing the personalized fit and feel. These gloves are an essential upgrade for any rider focused on both style and function.
Are these gloves insulated for cold weather riding?
No, these are single-layer deer skin gloves designed for mild to warm weather street riding, offering minimal insulation.
Do genuine leather gloves need a break-in period?
Yes, deer skin leather will soften with wear and conform to your hands over time, providing a more custom and comfortable fit.
How do I ensure these gloves fit my hands?
These are XL size. We recommend measuring your hand width and length and comparing them against the Highway 21 sizing chart to ensure proper fit before ordering.

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.
