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.

happy to write a review, the quality can't be beat

I got your email and yes I would gladly write a review, because these are probably the best feeling deerskins I ever owned. I am adding a picture because they are exactly as described. Stitching is perfect. I really appreciate the quality and will be back for some other gloves soon.

Best gloves I’ve worn. Super

Best gloves I’ve worn. Super comfortable and hold up well when temps drop to 50. Will definitely recommend these gloves to everyone.

Exceptional.

Moving from a Supersport to a Cruiser, I could no longer justify my titanium-reinforced spaceman Power Ranger gloves. I just couldn't. Found these being recommended online as top-tier for a man in need of a simpler but dependable glove. These are fantastic. Extremely comfortable, having high-dexterity, and seem like they'd hold up well on a slide across asphalt or pavement. I'm happy with the purchase. Sizing was dead-on.

Perfect With an Old Sportster

I ride a '74 Sportster and these tan deerskin gloves look period-correct with the bike. The leather is soft and broken in within a ride or two. Short wrist fits great under my jacket.

Cuff felt a little stiff initially but loosened up fast

The cuff area was stiffer than the palm section when these first arrived — took a couple rides for it to soften and flex naturally. Once it did, the whole glove felt consistent. The tan deerskin color is really attractive, a warm golden tone that works well with darker riding gear.

My third pair of Legendary gloves — still the standard

I started buying Legendary gloves back when a buddy turned me onto them after a rally in Sturgis. I've tried the black ones, tried a gauntlet pair for winter, and now these tan short wrist are my everyday summer glove. The deerskin on all three pairs has the same characteristic softness that you just don't find in cheaper gloves. The tan color is a natural golden brown — understated and classic. These will darken a bit over time from hand oils and sun exposure, which actually looks great. The fit is true to size; I'm a large and that's exactly what I ordered. If you're on the fence about spending the money, don't be — the leather alone justifies it.

Exactly what I wanted — nothing more, nothing less

No frills, just good deerskin in a classic tan short-wrist cut. Sometimes that's all you need. The leather is as soft as advertised and the fit is clean. Rides comfortably from the first day.

Softest gloves I've touched in a long time

Picked these up at the recommendation of a guy in my riding group who's been wearing Legendary gloves for years. Now I understand what the fuss is about. The tan deerskin is incredibly soft — softer than I expected for a motorcycle glove. The short wrist design works perfectly under my jacket sleeve. I ride a touring bike and these make long days in the saddle much easier on the hands.

Buttery tan leather

The tan color is a nice change from black and the deerskin is buttery soft.

So glad to hear it. That tan finish is a favorite around here.

These will last for years

The construction on these is solid. Stitching is even and tight, the seams are finished cleanly, and the deerskin is thick where it needs to be. The natural tan color looks like quality leather — because it is. These aren't the kind of gloves you replace every season.

Tan deerskin for warm-weather riding

Bought these specifically for summer riding. The tan deerskin breathes better than black leather somehow — or maybe it just feels cooler in the sun. Either way, hands stay comfortable on long rides. The short wrist isn't bulky so airflow around the wrist is decent.

The grip on these is incredible

I've tried canvas, cowhide, and synthetic gloves over the years. The deerskin grip on these is in a different category — natural tackiness that keeps your hand exactly where you put it on the bars. The tan color is a nice change from all-black.

Natural tan color ages beautifully

Three months in and the tan deerskin has developed a character all its own. The leather is getting richer and more supple with every ride. Fit was right on — no sizing issues at all.

Good grip and true to

Good grip and true to size. The tan is a nice break from black.

Thank you for riding with us. Good note on fit, and our team is always around to help you dial it in.

Molded fast to my hand

Comfortable from the first ride. The tan looks great with my brown jacket, the short cuff sits low and clean, and the leather molded to my hand quickly. Happy with them.

Love this. White takes some upkeep, and it pays off when they still look clean a season in.

Classic look for classic bikes

I ride a '74 Sportster and these tan deerskin gloves look period-correct with the bike. The leather is soft and broken in within a ride or two. Short wrist fits great under my jacket.

Golden brown color pairs with anything

The tan deerskin color is a natural golden brown that looks great with brown leather jackets and boots. Soft right out of the package, fit true to size. Really pleased with these.

Tan shows dirt

Like the color and the feel. The tan does show dirt over time, though.

Cheers for the review. A touch of leather conditioner keeps them bright ride after ride.

Ran large, size down

Soft leather but mine ran a little large, so I would consider sizing down. BTW this is my 4th pair.

Means a lot, thank you. The deerskin softens and gives a little with wear, and we're glad to help you nail the size anytime.

melt in my hands

The way the deerskin melts into your hands, they came well conditioned. I will be telling everyone about the quality Legendary delivers and they are made in USA which is another reason for my purchase.

soft & conditioned & perfect

Comfortable fit right out of the box, nice touch with the conditioner. 5 star review

The red stitching is just enough

The red double-diamond stitching against black leather looks great without being too loud. The deerskin started soft and got even better after a few rides. Short wrist fits neatly under my jacket and the touchscreen works well for maps and quick phone checks. Mine were a little snug out of the box but broke in to a perfect fit.
