Bad Billy Black Goatskin Gloves

Where deerskin is selected for softness and weight, goatskin is selected for cut resistance and durability. Goatskin's tighter fiber structure makes it stubbornly tough against abrasion and lateral cuts — the right choice for riders who prioritize protective performance over the broken-in feel of deerskin.
Lighter in weight than a cowhide glove at equivalent thickness, goatskin runs hotter than deerskin but is significantly more cut-resistant. Built for warm-climate riding, driving, shooting, and tactical applications where hand protection matters and heavier gloves would be too warm. American & Efird (A&E) industrial-grade thread throughout. Elasticized wrist cuff. Short wrist profile. Hand-cut and stitched in the USA. Featured in The Wall Street Journal Fashion Magazine.
