The Hide Jacket is a short jacket sewn by hand from a medium tanned hide. It is clothing worn in the Jacket slot. It covers the torso, the arms and the neck.
Its strength is good shelter from the wind and some warmth, with a little protection on top. Its cost is a slightly slower run and swing. It is a sound everyday jacket for a survivor who hunts and tans hides.
The jacket is made with the Sew Hide Jacket 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 jacket covers the upper and lower torso, the back, both arms and the neck. It blocks more than half the wind and keeps out some rain. Its warmth is moderate, so a sweater underneath helps in winter.
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 Jacket keeps out the same wind and gives the same warmth, but stops twice as many bites and scratches. The Hide Coat is warmer and reaches the thighs, but it blocks less wind.
The jacket slows running by about 5 percent and attacks by about 3 percent.
It sits in the Jacket slot, so no other jacket can be worn with it. Coats, bathrobes, boilersuits, full suits and aprons are blocked as well. A shirt and a sweater both fit underneath.
Tailoring
The jacket 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 medium tanned hide, three buttons and four lengths of heavy thread. The recipe needs Tailoring at level 4, and it must be learned before use. Research Craft on the jacket 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 Jacket and teaches the recipes below.

The jacket comes from crafting. The Sew Hide Jacket recipe makes one from a medium tanned hide at Tailoring level 4.
Notes
- Research Craft on one jacket teaches six hide clothing recipes at once.
- A medium hide is enough, so it is easier to make than the Hide Coat.
- A Hide Hoodie fits underneath for a warm, protective pair.
- A looted Leather Jacket gives twice the protection, so it is the better find.
