Free item - riding gloves

You asked for unreleased StarTack items, so here you go! I actually don't know if I have anything more, but I will have a look!

Anyways, I have named the gloves "Cuir", which means leather in French (I think?). I usually don't name the Patreon items, but since they're made a long time ago for StarTack, I thought I'd keep the name.
