A leather jacket is a type of body armor that appears in NetHack. It is naturally made of leather.

Generation

The Archeologist role starts each game with a +0 leather jacket.

Students, attendants, abbots, acolytes, guides, apprentices, hunters, and thugs have a chance of being generated with a jacket.

Description

When worn, the leather jacket confirms 1 base AC and no magic cancellation.

Strategy

The leather jacket is the weakest body armor available that grants base AC: though it is lightweight and does not interfere with spellcasting, it should be replaced with better armor as soon as possible.
