The Denim Neck Guard is a thick collar of denim strips sewn to wrap the neck. It is worn in the Gorget slot as light protective gear. It is an early way to cover the neck before metal or leather guards are within reach.
Its main strength is that it keeps the neck fully warm and gives it some guard against bites and scratches. Its main cost is a little discomfort while it is worn.
The neck guard is never found in the world. It comes only from the Sew Neckguard recipe, which calls for Tailoring at level 1. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The guard covers only the neck, and it keeps that part fully sheltered from cold and wind. It is useful in any weather and adds to the warmth of a winter outfit.
It stops one bite in ten and one scratch in five on the neck. A Rag Neck Guard stops half as many of each and is just as comfortable. A Leather Strip Neck Guard gives the same bite and scratch guard as denim, but it is far less comfortable to wear. That makes denim the best balance of the three strip guards.
The guard adds a small amount of discomfort. It costs nothing in speed, sight or hearing. It takes the Gorget slot, so only one neck guard can be worn at a time.
Tailoring
The neck guard is denim and can tear, so it can get holes. Denim patches repair it. The Cut Up Denim/Leather Clothing recipe turns it back into Denim Strips.
Researching it with Research Craft teaches the Sew Neckguard recipe.

Locations
The Denim Neck Guard only comes from crafting. The Sew Neckguard recipe takes six Denim Strips, two lengths of thread and a sewing needle. It calls for Tailoring at level 1. Using rags, burlap or leather strips instead makes the matching guard of that material.
Notes
- Researching the guard teaches the Sew Neckguard recipe itself.
- Denim stops twice as many bites and scratches as rags in the same recipe.
- A leather strip guard protects just as well but is much less comfortable.
- Cutting it up returns Denim Strips.
