The Jacket is a plain cotton outer jacket. It is worn in the jacket slot and covers the torso, the back, both arms and the neck.
The Jacket is an everyday outer layer that turns up almost everywhere. It adds moderate warmth, a little wind block and some protection from scratches. It also guards the neck. Its cost is a small cut to running speed.
The Jacket comes in a plain look that can be dyed another colour. It is one of the most common jackets in the game, found on clothing racks in nearly every building. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The Jacket keeps the torso and arms moderately warm. It blocks about a third of the wind and keeps out little rain. It suits mild autumn days, and it does better over a sweater in the cold.
It stops about a quarter of scratches and a tenth of bites on the parts it covers. It also gives the neck good extra protection. That is a fair start, but stronger jackets exist. The Leather Jacket stops more scratches and twice the bites. The Jacket - Navy Blue and the Police Jacket give a little more protection. The Jacket - Hunting Camo stops half the scratches and nearly a third of bites.
For warmth, the Jacket is in the middle. The Ranger Jacket, the Sheepskin Jacket and the Military Jacket - Officer keep the body warmer and block more wind.
The Jacket slows running by 5 percent. That is the usual cost for most jackets.
It clashes with other outer layers. A Bathrobe, a Boilersuit, a Down Jacket, a Bulky Jacket, a hooded jacket, a Suit Jacket and full suits take its place.
Tailoring
The Jacket is made of cotton. Ripping it with the Rip Clothing recipe gives a Rag. The plain look can be dyed another colour with the Dye Clothes recipe.
