[[Armour]] for your [[Item:Body|body]], so you won't get [[wound|injured]] as severely when [[Combat rating|being hit]] in [[combat]] or otherwise. Leather armour generally provides a low amount base damage reduction of base defence. However it also 60%, and has the second smallest penalties penalty to [[walking]] and speed, after [[attackcloth armour]] speed.
Leather armour has a slight evasion penalty. It is rarely used by people who have an alternative, but is certainly better than nothing and is great starting armour for new players.
Failure during its creation causes the [[leather]] to lose some quality. Higher needle quality increases the success chance for creating.
