The Hide Coat is a long coat sewn by hand from a large tanned hide. It is clothing worn in the Suit Jacket slot. It reaches from the neck down to the thighs and keeps most of the body warm.
Its strength is warmth over a large part of the body, with some guard for the neck. Its cost is a slower run and a slightly slower swing in combat. It is a fine winter coat for a survivor who hunts and tans hides.
The coat is made with the Sew Hide Coat recipe. It needs Tailoring at level 4 and must be learned first. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The coat covers the torso, back, arms, neck, groin and thighs. It holds in a good deal of warmth and keeps out almost half the rain. It blocks about a third of the wind, so a windproof layer underneath helps on a stormy day.
It stops about one scratch in five and one bite in ten on the parts it covers. It also adds extra protection for the neck. The Leather Coat covers the same parts and keeps the same warmth, but stops twice as many bites and scratches. The Calfhide Coat matches the hide coat in every figure.
The coat slows running by about 7 percent and attacks by about 3 percent.
It sits in the Suit Jacket slot. Jackets, sweaters, hooded jackets, vests, bulletproof vests and webbing cannot be worn with it. A shirt and pants fit underneath.
Tailoring
The coat is leather, so it repairs with leather patches. Ripping it gives Leather Strips. Sewing a new one needs scissors or a sharp knife, a needle and an awl. It also takes one large tanned hide, three buttons and six lengths of heavy thread. The recipe needs Tailoring at level 4, and it must be learned before use. Research Craft on the coat teaches six recipes: Sew Hide Coat, Sew Hide Jacket, Sew Hide Hoodie, Sew Hide Robe, Sew Furred Hide Coat and Sew Furred Hide Jacket.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Hide Coat and teaches the recipes below.

The coat comes from crafting. The Sew Hide Coat recipe makes one from a large tanned hide at Tailoring level 4.
Notes
- Research Craft on one coat teaches six hide clothing recipes at once.
- The coat adds extra protection for the neck as well as the body.
- A Leather Coat gives twice the protection for the same warmth, so it is the better find.
- Three buttons are needed for each coat, so it pays to keep spares.
