Hey... that's a trascendent question

They're already avaiable.
Yeah the skill isn't developed... but as I said earlier, that a skill isn't implemented, doesn't mean that you can't do it. In this case someone (not "officially" known) makes armour, and leather gloves I think are a part of it, and can be obtained with certain NPC. (There's a policy not to allow specific locations being revealed in forums, but now that you know that the gloves exist, it's just a matter of searching for yourself, or asking someone you see wears ones.)
