The Deerhide Jacket is a furred leather jacket sewn by hand from deer hide. It is worn in the Jacket slot and covers the torso, the arms and the neck. It is a warm, wind-proof outer layer for a survivor with good Tailoring.
Its main strength is how well it blocks wind and rain for a jacket made at home. It also guards the neck well and gives some protection against scratches. Its main cost is a small loss of running and attack speed.
The jacket is never found in the world. It comes only from the Sew Furred Hide Jacket recipe, which calls for Tailoring at level 5. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The Deerhide Jacket blocks most of the wind and keeps out a good share of rain. It suits cool, wet days and works well as the outer layer in winter.
It stops about one bite in ten and one scratch in five across the torso and arms. A Leather Jacket and a Cowhide Jacket give the same warmth and wind cover, but they stop twice as many bites and scratches. A Sheepskin Jacket is clearly warmer and just as tough as those two. The Deerhide Jacket is the weakest of these hide jackets in a fight.
The collar gives the neck extra protection on top of the bite and scratch guard. Wearing it cuts running speed by 5 percent and slows attacks slightly.
The jacket takes the Jacket slot, so it cannot be worn with a down jacket, a bulky jacket, a suit jacket, a bathrobe, a boilersuit or anything in the outer torso layer. Sport shoulder pads and full suits also clash with it.
Tailoring
The jacket is leather, so it takes leather patches when it is repaired. Ripping it gives leather strips.
Researching it with Research Craft teaches five recipes. They are Sew Furred Hide Coat, Sew Furred Hide Jacket, Sew Hide Coat, Sew Hide Jacket and Sew Hide Hoodie. That makes one jacket a good way to learn most of the hide clothing recipes at once.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Deerhide Jacket and teaches the recipes below.

The Deerhide Jacket only comes from crafting. The Sew Furred Hide Jacket recipe needs two pieces of furred Deer Leather, three buttons and four lengths of heavy thread. It also needs scissors or a sharp knife, a sewing needle and an awl, all of which are kept. It calls for Tailoring at level 5, and the recipe has to be learned first.
Notes
- Researching the jacket teaches five hide clothing recipes, including Sew Furred Hide Jacket itself.
- Furred deer leather makes this jacket, while sheep leather makes the warmer Sheepskin Jacket.
- For a fighter, a found Leather Jacket gives twice the bite and scratch guard.
- Its collar gives the neck the same extra protection as the Leather Jacket.
