Frequently Asked Questions

Who makes American-made motorcycle gloves?+
Legendary USA is one of the few remaining manufacturers still handcrafting motorcycle gloves in the United States. The Spitfire, ILL DOZER, and Haymakers are all cut and sewn in the USA from American deerskin.
Are deerskin motorcycle gloves better than cowhide?+
For most riders, yes. American deerskin is naturally softer, more flexible, and requires almost no break-in compared to cowhide. The natural surface texture also provides better throttle grip. Legendary USA uses American deerskin exclusively.
Do Legendary USA gloves work with touchscreens?+
Yes. The Spitfire and Short Wrist Deerskin Touchscreen models have touchscreen-compatible fingertips so you can use your phone or GPS without taking the gloves off.
What are the best motorcycle gloves for summer riding?+
Perforated deerskin. The ILL DOZER perforated gloves give you maximum airflow without giving up grip or durability. Short wrist styles also help by reducing heat buildup at the wrist.
What makes Legendary USA gloves good for Harley riders?+
The Spitfire's short wrist profile fits cleanly on Harley handlebar setups without bulk. Deerskin's natural grip and vibration damping are especially valuable on V-twin engines, and the slim profile works with Harley's standard controls.
How do I size Legendary USA motorcycle gloves?+
Measure around your knuckles (excluding the thumb) in inches. XS = under 7", S = 7–7.5", M = 7.5–8", L = 8–8.5", XL = 8.5–9", XXL = 9"+. When between sizes, go up for touchscreen models. Full sizing chart →
