The Calfhide Jacket is a short jacket sewn from the furred leather of a calf. It is crafted clothing for the Jacket slot. It covers the torso, back, arms and neck.

It is a handy outer layer for a survivor who raises cattle. It blocks wind well and guards the neck. Its cost is weight and a small cut to running speed.

The jacket comes only from crafting. It comes in Angus, Holstein and Simmental hides, each with its own pattern. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.

Wearing

The jacket keeps the body a little under half warm. It blocks more than half the wind and a good share of rain. That suits cool, breezy days in spring and autumn.

It stops about one bite in ten and one scratch in five on the parts it covers. It also adds solid neck protection.

The Cowhide Jacket and the Leather Jacket stop twice as many bites and scratches for the same warmth. The Deerhide Jacket matches calfhide exactly. The Calfhide Coat is warmer and reaches down to the thighs, but it runs slower.

The jacket slows running by about 5 percent. It also slows attacks slightly.

It takes the Jacket slot. Other jackets, coats, sport shoulder pads and full suits clash with it.

Tailoring

The jacket is leather. Ripping it gives Leather Strips, and leather patches repair it.

Research Craft on the jacket teaches Sew Furred Hide Coat, Sew Furred Hide Jacket, Sew Hide Coat, Sew Hide Jacket and Sew Hide Hoodie.

The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Calfhide Jacket and teaches the recipes below.
