Proud to Wear Them
"Great gloves, great fit, and I'm proud to support a product that's made in the USA."


MAXIMUM AIRFLOW
Real perforated ventilation — deerskin that breathes instead of trapping heat.
Black Ventilated American Deerskin
The Uppercut is Legendary USA’s urban protection glove — American Whitetail deerskin short wrist with leather-covered carbon fiber knuckle defenders built into the back panel. Designed for riders who want meaningful impact protection in a short wrist profile without the bulk and wrist restriction of a full armored glove.
The deerskin base carries the same properties as the full Legendary glove line — roughly half the weight of cowhide at equivalent protection, natural thermal performance, pliable in wet conditions without conditioning. The perforated back panel provides airflow in warm weather. American & Efird (A&E) industrial-grade thread throughout. Touchscreen-capable index finger. Elasticized wrist. Ultra-thin breathable lining. Hand-cut and stitched in the USA. Featured in The Wall Street Journal Fashion Magazine.
Why riders choose deerskin.
Deerskin is softer, more flexible, and more comfortable than many traditional glove leathers. It naturally conforms to your hand while keeping durability and control — the fit only gets better the more you ride.

The deerskin advantage
Deerskin vs typical leather
Built by American hands.
Every pair is produced in small batches by skilled American craftspeople who ride. That means tighter quality control, better materials, and real attention to detail — standards overseas mass production simply can’t match.
What that means for you
Riders value American-made because it lasts longer, fits better, and stands behind the craftsmanship you trust on every ride.
Care for the life of the glove.
A few simple habits keep your deerskin soft, strong, and looking right for years.

Real perforation channels air across your hands instead of trapping heat — so deerskin that would normally cook becomes comfortable through the hottest miles.

Why It Costs More
Cheap gloves use lower-grade leather, generic patterns, and mass-production shortcuts.
You are not paying for a name. You are paying for better leather, better construction, better fit.

"Great gloves, great fit, and I'm proud to support a product that's made in the USA."
"Finally -- an armored glove that's not trying to make you look like Skeletor or Spider Man. Carbon fiber knuckle protection, but these look good enough to wear to work or out to the theater -- I have. I'm not ordinarily a glove guy outside of riding or yard work, but I've started wearing these everywhere. And they're touch screen friendly -- a bonus. (Not as easy as your bare finger, but they never are. It still lets you tap, scroll or swipe without taking them off. )"
