-The studded leather of ''NetHack'' is borrowed from the first edition of ''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons'', where it was described as leather armor "to which have been fastened metal studding as additional protection, usually including an outer coat of fairly close-set studs";<ref>AD&D1 Dungeon Masters Guide, Page 27</ref> this description may be derived from medieval artworks and reconstructions of brigandine armor. With highly visible rivets on the outside layer of leather, these rivets held many small metal plates beneath the leather exterior to allow greater maneuverability than full plate armor, and greater protection than armor made entirely of leather.

-Real-world studded leather armor uses the studs to provide structural support, rather than serving a defensive purpose; they were used to fasten small metal plates beneath the leather exterior or hold the layers of leather together. Very rarely they are included as decoration, as this typically hampers the armor's functionality.

 Studded leather does not inhibit [[spellcasting]], making it a common body armor choice for early [[Wizard]]s and other builds focused on combat spellcasting; for other players, studded leather is usually a somewhat lighter substitute for heavier starting armor in order to reduce inventory weight.
-Studded leather is eventually replaced with a [[mithril-coat]] or [[dragon scale mail]]; [[crystal plate mail]] does not inhibit spellcasting, but it has more than twice the weight of studded leather.
