leather gloves

Cowhide hand covers

Gloves made from animal hide, typically cowhide, lambskin, or deerskin.

Leather gloves range from rugged work gloves to elegant dress accessories.

They appear in contexts suggesting sophistication, menace, or careful planning—a detective examines evidence with gloved hands, a villain pulls on leather gloves before a crime: He adjusted his leather gloves and reached for the doorknob.
