Does anyone have any suggestions for a well built, non lined, all leather pair of gloves for 55* and up weather? I just had my favorite set ever fall apart... Open to suggestions. Thanks Brice. :idunno:

I don't always wear gloves over 55*, but when I do, I prefer deer skin gloves.

Man that sounds like a beer commercial!   :smile:

But I do prefer deer skin, I've bought my last few pair from Chilhowee. Followed their sizing instructions, and (wait for it) they fit like a glove!

I got a pair of River Road perferated gloves that work great when hot.

:agree: with the deerskin I have problems finding gloves to fit me wide chubby hands with short fingers usually wear a large but most have fingers 1/2" too long, The favorite pair that actually fit are in pretty bad shape after 9 years need to find somewhere that will make me a pair or 2 using these as a pattern

I have sausage fingers and wide hands like Wolf. I bought a pair of, GripSwell Gloves. They are awesome, I use them for shooting to.
Think they are goat skin, very soft and tactile.

I have 3 pr. of Lee Parks gloves.  Long gauntlet DeerSports, same glove with liner, and Deer Tours.  I seldom wear the lined pair as it has to be below 40* to need them.

The Black/Tan unlined DeerSports are my favorite.  I've had them for 9years probably have ridden 40-50K in them.  I have a pair of short Deer Tours in Tan,   when I replace them I'll likely get the same glove with the seams on the outside which is available in black or yellow.

Lee will be at the Progressive International motorcycle show in Long Beach Dec 6-8,  which IIRC is in your area. Best way to buy a pair as you can try on a few and get a nice fit.   Rick
