Premium Handmade Motorcycle Gloves | 78 Motor Co.

From hide to hand.

78 Motor Co. makes premium leather motorcycle gloves for riders who care about craftsmanship, fit, protection and design. Each collection is designed in-house and produced in small batches using carefully selected leather hides each crafted by experienced glove makers. We design motorcycle gloves for riders not mass production.

We believe a great glove can really enhance your ride and we pride ourselves of making some of the finest gloves out there with a goal to continually evolve as each season passes. Whether on the handlebars or gripping a vintage Mota-Lita they need to fit well, look great and most importantly give you the confidence to grab your machine by the scruff of the neck. Explore the 78 glove collection.

All too often motorcycle gloves are ill fitting, poorly made and distinctly lacking style or colour. We set out to change that by making motorcycle gloves with love and attention often seen in Haute Couture to ensure they fit great and look timeless but most importantly last a long time. To learn about how we make our gloves or find the perfect size check out our Motorcycle Glove FAQs page.

We don't work with huge factories or employ the cheapest labour to produce just another average pair of gloves. To craft a 78 glove takes time and requires great skill from experienced artisans with some gloves taking up to 6 hours to create from start to finish with several stages of production starting with hand selecting the finest hides from Europe and California.

Mainstream brands produce on vast scale but for us quality is so important we only manufacture in very small batches with multiple QC checks at each stage. From hide tanning, dye cutting, trimming, stitching, seam-work, lining to comfort testing and finally waxing should this be required.
