Ok gloves

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 leather are premium deerskin cruiser gloves, built for V-twin riders who demand classic style without sacrificing hand protection or dexterity. Their single-layer construction keeps them lightweight, while the tooled exterior and drum-dyed finish deliver authentic biker aesthetics. These gloves are designed to offer a comfortable, direct feel for the road.
These oxblood Louie Gloves from Highway 21 embody the spirit of the open road, blending classic design with functional performance. Crafted from genuine deerskin leather, they offer a supple feel that quickly molds to your hands, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip. The rich drum-dyed oxblood finish provides a distinctive look that stands out, while the tooled exterior adds a touch of custom craftsmanship, perfect for your Harley-Davidson or Indian Motorcycle.
The single-layer design of these gloves means less bulk and more direct feedback from your controls, which is crucial for spirited riding. Ideal for mild to warm weather, they provide essential hand protection without hindering your dexterity. Over time, the deerskin will naturally break in, becoming even more comfortable and personalized. These Louie Gloves are an excellent choice for riders who appreciate both form and function.
Are these gloves lined or padded?
No, these gloves feature a single-layer deerskin construction, designed to be lightweight and flexible without additional insulation or padding.
Will these gloves protect my hands in a crash?
These are cruiser-style gloves designed for everyday riding. While they offer some hand protection, for maximum impact and abrasion resistance, consider purpose-built race or touring gloves.
How do I ensure the correct size for these gloves?
These are a 2X size. We recommend comparing your hand measurements against the Highway 21 sizing chart to confirm fitment 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.
