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 Medium offer a blend of classic style and robust protection for V-twin riders. Constructed from genuine deer skin leather, these gloves provide a comfortable fit with an authentic cruiser aesthetic. They're built for the long haul, ready for the demands of the open road.
When you're twisting the throttle on your Harley or Indian, you need gloves that feel right and stand up to the ride. The Highway 21 Louie Gloves in Oxblood Medium deliver exactly that. Made from genuine deer skin, they offer a supple feel while providing the durability you expect from quality riding gear. The rich oxblood finish and tooled exterior detail add a timeless look that complements any V-twin.
These Louie gloves are designed for riders who appreciate a classic, uncluttered feel. The single-layer construction means no bulk, just a direct connection to your grips and levers. Ideal for warmer weather or riders who prefer maximum tactile feedback, they'll break in beautifully over time, conforming to your hands for a custom fit. Pair them with your favorite leather jacket for a cohesive, road-ready look.

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.
