More about this glove
The Churchill Short Wrist is the minimal-cuff version of the longest-running American deerskin riding glove — made by the Churchill family in the USA since 1897, using the same domestic Whitetail deerskin that has defined the Churchill glove for over 127 years.
The short wrist profile sits at the wrist bone, working cleanly under or over jacket sleeves without bunching. Domestic Whitetail deerskin weighs roughly half of cowhide at equivalent protection and maintains natural thermal performance across a wider temperature range than processed hides. Unlike cowhide, it stays pliable after repeated wet/dry cycles without conditioning — it softens with riding. The elasticized wrist cuff provides a snug fit that stays in place at speed without restricting hand movement.

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.

What Riders Say
“My old pair of Churchill short wrists finally gave out after about three years — stitching at the index finger finally let go. Ordered the same size, same glove, and they're identical. That kind of consistency is rare. Already have about 600 miles on the new pair.”
Bought these after wearing out my old pair
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.
