Tennenoth... you used mail gloves with Archery? I thought having weighted hands were extremely bad for archery?
Edit: And I only ask, because I know you are a pretty badass archer!
It's become force of habit these days to be honest. I've had that equipment for years now (quite literally) and it is "who I am". When I originally picked out the gauntlets the weight difference wasn't as high as it is now and they gave the best look for the highest armour for the lowest weight. Now, if I wanted more armour for the same weight change I could happily choose a different body armour & gloves and have better results.
Erm, if I have done this correctly then (Please note I am using "fully loomed" stats);
Mail Gauntlets: 0.5 weight (2 due to the x4) - 9 body armour
Leather Jerkin: 3.8 weight - 27 body armour, 10 leg armour
Total weight: 4.3 weight (5.8 weight) - 36 body armour, 10 leg armour.
So if I wore leather gloves instead (0 weight) 5 body armour I'd be 2 weight better off but 4 body armour down.
That means that I could use the Padded Jack/Tribal Warrior Outfit at 5.5 weight with 31 body armour and 14 leg armour giving;
Leather Gloves: 0 weight - 5 body armour
Padded Jack/Tribal Warrior Outfit: 5.5 weight - 31 body armour, 14 leg armour
36 body armour and 14 leg armour.
So really, it is more efficient to use lighter gloves and heavier armour (by 0.3 weight & 4 leg armour), it's a matter of style! I should also mention that both of these equipment sets are below the threshold for losing archery wpf so it doesn't matter from that point of view.
I hope that helps you!
Haha you even put a spoiler on it 
I did think about putting something hideous in there but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
