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.

Amazing!!!

"Just picked up the Ill Dozers with the new Legendary cut and I’m honestly impressed. They feel comfortable right away and the leather doesn’t feel stiff at all."

Larry R. (5/5)

Hot ride, dry hands

"Wore these on a long hot ride and my hands never got sweaty. The outseam construction means nothing rubs the inside of the fingers, and the deerskin is soft right away. Fit was true to my normal size."

Vincent R. (5/5)

My 5th gloves from Legendary

"I am extremely pleased with the quality of these gloves. Perfect fit and high quality."

Daniel W. (5/5)

Outseam, no finger rub

"The outseam stitching keeps seams off my fingers and the perforation runs cool."

Christopher D. (5/5)

Looks sharp on the bike.

"Looks sharp on the bike. They felt broken in from the first ride."

Sean M. (5/5)

Stiff for a day

"Really like the look and the airflow. The leather was just a little stiff the first day."

Robert D. (4/5)

Tight over the knuckles

"Good venting but the fit was tight across the knuckles for my hand shape, so not ideal for me."

James O. (4/5)

Tight over the knuckles

"Good venting but the fit was tight across the knuckles for my hand shape, so not ideal for me."

James O. (4/5)

Put them on and immediately

"Put them on and immediately wanted to quit my job and ride into the sunset. They breathe well, feel premium, and somehow make every throttle twist feel like a slow-motion movie scene. Warning: may cause overconfidence at red lights."

Alfredo M. (5/5)

reviews don't lie

"I couldn’t be more impressed with my new Legendary Ill Dozers. The deerskin leather is incredibly soft, and the perforation makes a noticeable difference in airflow on hot days. There's like zero bulk, and the outseam stitching gives a smooth fit that doesn’t rub or irritate me. Legendary clearly put a lot of work into this design and it definitely checks all boxes for me."
