The Sheepskin Vest is a sleeveless, fur-lined leather vest sewn from a single sheep hide. It covers the chest, belly and back. It suits a survivor who wants a warm torso with free arms.
Its main strength is warmth on the body. It holds in all body heat and blocks all wind on the parts it covers. It also stops some bites and scratches without any cut to running or attack speed. Its main cost is that it takes the Bulky Jacket slot, so it cannot share the torso with most jackets and coats.
The Sheepskin Vest is always made by hand. It is sewn with the Sew Sheepskin Vest recipe. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The Sheepskin Vest is worn in the Bulky Jacket slot. It covers the upper torso, the lower torso and the back.
It keeps the torso fully warm and fully shielded from wind. It keeps out more than half of the rain as well. That makes it a good piece for cold weather and long work outdoors.
Against zombies it stops about one bite in five and two scratches in five on the torso. The Leather Vest covers the same parts. It stops one bite in ten and three scratches in ten, and keeps in 90 percent of body heat. The sheepskin vest protects better and is warmer. It weighs twice as much as the Leather Vest.
Running and attacking are not slowed by it, which makes it a good fit for fighting.
It clashes with a long list of torso pieces. It cannot be worn with a jacket, a coat, a hooded jacket, a down jacket or another vest. Bulletproof vests, cuirasses, webbing, sport shoulder pads and breathing gear also clash with it.
Tailoring
The Sew Sheepskin Vest recipe takes 1 Sheep Leather (Furred) and 3 heavy thread. The tools are scissors or a sharp knife, a Sewing Needle and an awl. All three tools are kept. The recipe needs Tailoring level 4 and must be learned first.
The vest is leather, so leather patches repair it. Ripping it apart gives Leather Strips.
Using Research Craft on the vest teaches four recipes. They are Sew Hide Coat, Sew Hide Jacket, Sew Sheepskin Vest and Sew Sleeveless Shirt.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Sheepskin Vest and teaches the recipes below.
