The leather jacket is a leather version of the normal jacket.

Usage

Pros and cons

Pros	Cons
Common around the map. Strong bite and scratch resistance. Provides protection against weather.	Can't be used to craft ripped sheets or sheet rope. Slows down movement and combat speed slightly.

Recipes

Leather jackets can be torn into leather strips with the help of scissors, which can then be used as a makeshift bandage. However, due to the easy availability of ripped sheets, leather strips are best used in non-emergency situations as tailoring material to reinforce other items.
