Note: these are only worn during Genetic Repo Man, 21st Century Cure, Bloodbath, and Epilogue. He does not wear them during Sanitarium Square, ZA, or any of the deleted scenes.
His gloves are assumed to be a knock-off of Icon TiMAX long motorcycle gloves. They are cheaper than the brand-name gloves, and have more accurate accents, such as quilted triangles in the palm of the glove.
There have been reports of Terrance himself confirming that they are the knockoff version when asked by a fan.
Here are photos for comparison, starting with the name-brand glove, then the knockoff, then a screenshot from "At The Opera Tonight"
They can be found on ebay or amazon.com by searching for "black leather metal motorcycle gloves" though you may need to expand the search by removing some terms. Expect to pay between $50-$80 if you can find them, and $100-$200 if you look for the Icon TiMAX gloves instead.
THIS IS A DISCONTINUED ITEM AND WILL LIKELY BECOME VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND IN THE FUTURE. TiMAX has moved on to more advanced and protective styles, and when I called and asked multiple ebay sellers in 2009 about the knockoffs, they all said they were discontinued and only had what remained in-stock.
There are MANY similar styles out there, if you can't locate the exact one, motocross/motorcycle gloves are a good place to look. There is also a white version of these gloves, which could also work if you used black leather dye on them.
