Product Details
The John Doe Freewheeler Leather Motorcycle Gloves in Brown Used are classic short-wrist riding gloves with the manufacturer’s worn-in “Used” colourway finish. Made from full-grain cowhide, they combine a traditional old-school appearance with an ergonomic pre-curved shape intended to support a secure, natural grip on the controls.

John Doe size guide
The sizes below are limited to the variants configured on this Moto Central listing. John Doe publishes length and width values but does not define the measuring method on the current page, so the width should not automatically be treated as hand circumference. Shopify’s XXL option corresponds to John Doe’s published 2XL label.
| Shopify size | Published length | Published width | EU/FR |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 23.5 | 11.5 | 7 |
| M | 24.25 | 12 | 8 |
| L | 25 | 12.5 | 9 |
| XL | 25.75 | 13 | 10 |
| XXL (John Doe 2XL) | 26.5 | 13.5 | 11 |
| 3XL | 27.25 | 14 | 12 |
For the most reliable fit, compare the published guide with a glove that fits you well and try the gloves on with your usual motorcycle jacket. The fingertips should reach the ends without being compressed, and the glove should remain secure when the wrist is fastened.

Product questions
Does “Used” mean the gloves are pre-owned?
No. “Brown Used” is John Doe’s name for the worn-in colourway finish. The gloves supplied by Moto Central are new.
Are these gloves CE certified?
Yes. John Doe lists the Freewheeler as CE certified to EN 13594:2015.
Do these gloves contain XTM-Fiber® or a DuPont™ Kevlar® liner?
John Doe’s current exact product page does not list either reinforcement liner for this reference. They are therefore not claimed in this description.
Are the Freewheeler gloves waterproof?
John Doe does not publish a waterproof membrane or waterproof rating for this model.
Will the touchscreen function work with every device?
The gloves are designed for touchscreen use, although response can vary between devices, screen protectors and individual fit.
Moto Central fitting guidance
New leather gloves should feel secure without restricting circulation or control movement. Check that the wrist closure remains fastened, the glove cannot be pulled off easily and no excess material bunches at the palm when holding the handlebars. Visit the Moto Central showroom if you would like help comparing sizes.
