The Leather Neck Guard is a thick leather collar buckled around the throat. It is protective gear for the neck. It covers only the neck, but it covers it completely.
Its strength is full protection for the neck, plus full warmth and wind cover there. Its cost is discomfort, since a stiff leather collar is unpleasant to wear for long. It is sewn with the Sew Leather Neck Guard recipe at Tailoring 3. Found ones are very rare and turn up only in late-game survivor safehouses. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The guard stops every bite and every scratch aimed at the neck. It also keeps the neck fully warm and shuts out all wind there, which helps on cold days.
It adds a fair amount of discomfort. It leaves running and fighting speed as they are. The Metal Neck Guard and Ice Hockey Neck Guard give the same full protection. The ice hockey guard is a little more comfortable, and the metal one a little less. A Leather Strip Neck Guard is just as uncomfortable but stops only one bite in ten. A Denim Neck Guard is more comfortable but stops the same small share.
It takes the neck guard slot, so only one neck guard can be worn at a time.
Tailoring
The guard can get holes. The Sew Leather Neck Guard recipe needs Tailoring 3. It takes one small crude tanned leather, one use of heavy thread and one Buckle. Scissors, a sewing needle and an awl are kept afterwards.
