More about this glove

The Churchill Classic is the original American deerskin riding glove — made by the Churchill family in the USA using the same construction method and domestic Whitetail deerskin since 1897. That's over 127 years of continuous deerskin glove production from a single American maker, making it one of the longest-running riding gloves in American manufacturing history.

The 2-inch elasticized wrist cuff is the defining detail of the Classic profile — it sits higher on the wrist than a short wrist glove, providing more coverage at the sleeve gap on highway rides while remaining flexible enough for full throttle and brake range. Domestic Whitetail deerskin weighs roughly half of cowhide at equivalent protection, delivers natural thermal performance across temperature ranges, and stays pliable in wet conditions without conditioning. The hide softens and molds to your grip over the first few rides — a process that improves, not diminishes, with miles.

Made in the USA.

The Glove

The only gear you feel
every second of the ride.

Throttle, clutch, brake — everything you do on a motorcycle, you do through your gloves. So we build them like it matters.

American leather — grain macro

The Material

Soft on day one.
Yours by week two.

American leather chosen for hand feel — it molds to your grip instead of fighting it, and keeps its shape wet or dry.

Day 1

Snug at the knuckles — that's correct. No pressure points.

Week 2

Molded to your hand. Grip memory sets in.

Year 1+

Yours. Condition every few months; air-dry if wet.

This is why you size snug — see the fit guide below.

Fit

Snug at the palm.
Nothing at the fingertip.

A riding glove should fit like a firm handshake: no slack in the palm — that is where blisters start — fingertips just touching the end, knuckles free to make a fist around a grip.

Between Sizes?

Deerskin stretches about a quarter size to your hand. Take the snugger size for bare-hand feel — the larger if you run liners in the cold. Exchanges are free either way.

Questions

Before you ride.

How do I measure my hand?

Tape around the widest part of your dominant hand — knuckles, no thumb. 8–9 inches is a Medium; 9–10 is a Large. Between sizes? Size up — the leather snugs in to fit.

What happens if they get soaked?

Ride on. Air-dry at room temperature — the leather dries soft, not stiff, and keeps its shape. Never machine-dry, never dry on a heater.

How long is the break-in?

Soft out of the box. Within a week or two of riding the leather takes the shape of your grip — which is why you size snug.

How do I care for them?

Wipe clean with a damp cloth, air-dry if wet, and condition lightly every few months.

Wrong size — how do exchanges work?

Easy exchanges and 30-day returns. No restocking fees.
