The Highway 21 Louie Gloves in oxblood deliver authentic V-twin cruiser styling with a heavy-duty build. Crafted from genuine deer skin leather with a drum-dyed finish, these gloves provide a classic look without unnecessary bulk. Their single-layer construction ensures a direct feel for your controls.
These Louie Gloves from Highway 21 are designed for riders who prioritize classic aesthetics and a tactile connection to their machine. The rich oxblood finish and tooled exterior detail offer a distinctive vintage appeal that stands out on any Harley or Indian Motorcycle. Made from genuine deer skin, these gloves are built to be both durable and comfortable for the long haul.
Perfect for riders chasing that iconic cruiser aesthetic, these Louie Gloves complement a range of riding styles and gear. Their single-layer design means less bulk, allowing for precise throttle and brake control. While styled for the cruiser look, they offer the practical hand protection needed for daily rides and weekend excursions on your V-twin.
Are these gloves suitable for warm weather riding?
Yes, the single-layer genuine deer skin construction makes these Louie Gloves comfortable for warm-weather and cruising rides, offering good airflow without insulation.
Will these gloves break in and conform to my hands?
Absolutely. Genuine deer skin leather is known for its ability to soften and mold to the wearer's hands over time, providing a custom, comfortable fit.
Are these gloves designed for impact protection?
These Louie Gloves are primarily styled for cruiser aesthetics and offer basic hand protection. For specific impact protection, consider gloves with integrated armor.

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.
For the price leather is supple but very delicate rips easily
Comfy, look good, good dexterity....after only 2 days of the riding the leather is looking worn. Alright for $40. Time will tell.
For an average every day glove for the right price this it. They run slightly small but don't forget about stretch. So far so good. I used a bit of boot stretch and broke them in. It worked perfectly. Cheers!
