Leather is the tanned hide of an animal. It can be used to make many things, including clothing, shields, and armor.

Leather armor will be worn by civilians with the 'Hunting' skill enabled, or by military dwarves with at least Light armor enabled. Dwarves instructed to wear medium and heavy armor will still wear leather if leather is the best available.

Making leather requires a tannery workshop, a raw hide or skin from an animal (One that is not rotten!), and a dwarf with the 'tanning' skill turned on. The human and dwarven caravans also sell various leather hides, in case few animals inhabit the map.
