I love deerskin gloves. Have worn them for 30 years or more. Soft, supple, comfortable from the first second you put them on, lightweight, yet they can comfortably be worn in temperatures way lower and way higher than you think you could. Personally I wear them in the same temp ranges where I would my leather jacket ..from 40 to 90. They are thin enough to fold and stick in a jacket pocket without the pocket bulging out funny.
My main pair was starting to sun fade (color wise turning from black to gray) and I lamented that to my wife. She ordered me a new pair from some place called American Leathers I think. However I found I was still wearing the old pair for the most part and saving the new ones. Always good to have a pair for back up just in case.
Anyhow both my old pair and the new pair had short cuffs and I noticed during the Fall Men's Ride, when we'd take off in the mid 40's in the mornings, cool air would sometimes work it's way past the short cuff of the glove and up the sleeve of my leather.
I found out online that Fox Creek who made my new leather jacket also makes a gauntleted black deerskin glove. I called up Fox Creek and after assurances the gauntlets would indeed go over the sleeves on my leather jacket I ordered up a pair. For $59 and free shipping, it was a no-brainer (even for a tight wad like me).
They came in today. All I can say is awesome! All the great features of my regular short cuff deerskin gloves only with a gauntlet that indeed fits over the jacket sleeves. Once again Fox Creek has made me a happy man.
