The Cowhide Coat is a long coat sewn from the furred leather of grown cattle. It is crafted clothing for the Suit Jacket slot. It covers the body from the neck down to the thighs.

It is a warm and tough outer layer for a survivor who keeps cattle. It guards against bites and scratches better than calfhide and protects the neck well. Its cost is weight and a slower run.

The coat comes only from crafting. It comes in plain cowhide and 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 coat keeps the body about two thirds warm. It blocks about a third of the wind and almost half the rain. That suits cool autumn weather and light rain.

It stops about one bite in five and two scratches in five. That cover spreads over the torso, back, arms, neck, groin and thighs. It also adds solid neck protection.

The Calfhide Coat is the same coat made from calf hides. It stops only half as many bites and scratches. The Sheepskin Coat is much warmer, but its cover matches calfhide. The Cowhide Jacket gives the same cover over a shorter cut and slows running less.

The long coat slows running by about 7 percent. It also slows attacks slightly.

It takes the Suit Jacket slot. Jackets, sweaters, hoodies, vests, webbing, bulletproof vests and body armour clash with it.

Tailoring

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

Research Craft on the coat 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 Cowhide Coat and teaches the recipes below.
