A leather cloak provides MC1 and one point of AC, but has no special abilities.
Strategy
This cloak is strictly superior to the more common dwarvish and orcish cloaks, which provide the same MC but no AC. Any type of magical cloak, including the fairly common elven cloak, will still be superior to this, providing the same or better AC and MC, plus some special abiltiies.
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.
