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

It is a sturdy outer layer for a survivor who raises cattle. It blocks wind well, guards the neck and stops a fair share of bites and scratches. Its cost is weight and a small cut to running speed.

The jacket 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 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 five and two scratches in five on the parts it covers. It also adds solid neck protection.

The Leather Jacket matches it exactly. The Calfhide Jacket and the Deerhide Jacket stop only half as many bites and scratches. The Cowhide Coat gives the same cover down to the thighs and adds warmth, but it slows running more.

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. A bulletproof vest or body armour can still go 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 Cowhide Jacket and teaches the recipes below.
