A leather cloak provides MC1 and one point of AC, but has no special abilities.
Strategy
Almost any cloak is preferable to this one: higher magic cancellation is well worth a point of AC. The only exception might be for a character who already has MC 2 or MC 3, perhaps from a cornuthaum or mithril-coat, in which case the cloak is preferable to a dwarvish or orcish cloak.
History
Despite its mundane nature, this is actually one of the newest items in the game, having been introduced along with the touchstone in NetHack 3.4.0. The buglist indicates that it resolves the incongruity of human soldiers being generated with elven cloaks.
