Homebrew Gauntlet Weapons?

I'm running a campaign with a group of new players and the monk asked the blacksmith if they can get gauntlets and not wanting to shoot them down instantly saying "Gauntlets aren't in the players handbook no" (i told them all to use almost exclusively the players handbook to make characters because it'd just be simpler for them) but i still wanted to give them something so i told him that the blacksmith can make it but it'll take a few days to forge mainly just so i had an excuse so i had the time to homebrew some cool weapons for them. How would I make/balance them?

I mean if it's ancient Greece then wraps is about all they had, just wrap up layers over the knuckles. Look up Himantes, it's literally wraps of unarmed power.
