More about this glove
The Bad Billy Black is Legendary USA's goatskin short wrist glove — a different leather and a different animal from the rest of the Legendary lineup. Where deerskin is selected for softness and weight, goatskin is selected for cut resistance and durability. Goatskin's tighter fiber structure makes it stubbornly tough against abrasion and lateral cuts — the right choice for riders who prioritize protective performance over the broken-in feel of deerskin.
Lighter in weight than a cowhide glove at equivalent thickness, goatskin runs hotter than deerskin but is significantly more cut-resistant. Built for warm-climate riding, driving, shooting, and tactical applications where hand protection matters and heavier gloves would be too warm. American & Efird (A&E) industrial-grade thread throughout. Elasticized wrist cuff. Short wrist profile. Hand-cut and stitched in the USA. Featured in The Wall Street Journal Fashion Magazine.

Tape around the widest part of your dominant hand — knuckles, no thumb. Between sizes? Size up. Exchanges are free.
What if they get soaked?
Ride on. Air-dry at room temperature — the leather dries soft, not stiff. Never machine-dry.
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.
Wrong size — how do exchanges work?
Easy exchanges and 30-day returns. No restocking fees.
Dexterity
Everything you do on a bike — gloved.
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.
Fist around grip — correct fit
Measuring around the knuckles
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.
