Leather Gloves

Twenty leather and no bench buy gloves that take more than burlap. The real question is whether that leather belongs in road sign armour instead.

Overview

In-game description
Gloves made out of leather, offers a small amount of protection to the upper body.

They are the gloves you make right after your first hunt. A trip or two after boar and deer leaves you with twenty leather, and with no bench at all that becomes something sturdier than burlap gloves. The game text promises a small amount of protection to the upper body, so do not expect miracles.

The catch is that leather has better uses. A road sign jacket asks for twenty, road sign gloves twenty more, a metal chest plate fifty. If a Level 2 bench is close, keep the stack for the road sign kit and live with burlap a little longer. For a solo still building his 2x1, leather gloves are fine.

Later on, tactical gloves take the same twenty leather plus ten sewing kits and, by their own text, steady your aim. Most players move to those or to road sign gloves once either is affordable.

Tip

Running your own server? The short name reads burlap.gloves, while the actual burlap gloves are burlap.gloves.new. Mix them up in a give command and the player ends up with leather.
