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 Oxblood XL deliver classic style and reliable protection for V-twin riders. Crafted from genuine deer skin leather with a rich drum-dyed finish, these gloves offer a comfortable, tactile experience. Their single-layer construction and tooled exterior provide an authentic cruiser look with the durability needed for the road.
For riders who appreciate both heritage styling and modern performance, the Highway 21 Louie Gloves in Oxblood XL are an excellent choice. Made from genuine deer skin, they provide a soft, supple feel that conforms to your hands over time, enhancing comfort and control. The striking oxblood finish, achieved through a drum-dyeing process, ensures a deep and consistent color that stands out on any Harley or Indian motorcycle.
These Louie gloves are designed for riders who prefer a minimalist, high-feedback glove. The single-layer construction means there's no unnecessary bulk, allowing for maximum dexterity and a true feel for your handlebars and levers. Ideal for warm to moderate weather, they offer essential abrasion and wind protection. The genuine deer skin will break in beautifully, becoming even more comfortable and personalized with every mile you log.

How should I care for genuine deer skin leather gloves?

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!
