Skins are automatically tanned if the "Auto tan" [[standing orders#Workshop orders|order]] is enabled. If skins are not tanned automatically, you can use your [[manager]] to automatically queue "Tan a Hide" jobs, or manually queue jobs from a tanner's shop. Scales and chitin cannot be tanned (aside from [[DF2014:Skin#Modding_scales_to_be_usable_in_leatherworking|shenanigans being done]]). |

Leather is used to make low-grade [[armor]] and [[clothing]].
