Leather Gloves are a pair of full-fingered gloves made of leather. They are an accessory for the hands that keeps them warm and gives some protection. They are light enough to wear all the time.
Their strength is the mix of warmth and protection. They keep most of the cold and wind off the hands and also catch some bites and scratches. They come in a plain, a black and a brown look. They are found in car supply stores, leather clothing stores and tool stores, and a skilled tailor can sew them. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The gloves keep the hands warm and block most of the wind, which suits cold weather well. They stop about one bite in seven and three scratches in ten on the hands.
They sit between warmth and armour. Plain Gloves keep the hands even warmer but stop only one scratch in twenty. Leather Strip Handwraps are less warm and stop fewer bites and scratches. Fingerless Gloves - Metal and Bone Fingerless Gloves stop far more, about seven bites in ten, but they keep the hands much colder. Ice Hockey Gloves stop four bites in five but slow attacks by a tenth.
Leather Gloves are comfortable and leave running and fighting speed as they are. They take the hands slot, so they cannot be worn with other gloves or handwraps.
Tailoring
The gloves are leather, so leather patches repair holes in them, and ripping them gives leather strips. The Sew Leather Gloves recipe needs Tailoring 6. It takes one small crude tanned leather and two uses of heavy thread. Scissors, a sewing needle and an awl are kept afterwards. Research Craft on a pair teaches the same recipe.
Scissors turn them into Fingerless Gloves - Leather. They are also a base for Fingerless Gloves - Metal at a forge, Fingerless Gloves - Scrap Metal with a Welding Torch, and Bone Fingerless Gloves.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies Leather Gloves and teaches the recipes below.
