Leather equipment

Leather is used in the crafting skill to make leather armour. Leather is created by taking cowhide to a tanner, and having them create soft leather or hard leather. Soft leather costs 1gp per hide to be tanned, and hard leather costs 3gp per hide. Popular tanners include Al-Kharid and the Crafting Guild.
Leather is a very good way to train crafting, as it provides good exp rates, and the materials can be obtained in bulk relatively easily. A needle and thread is required to make leather armour, and can be bought from either the Al-Kharid or Rimmington shops. The needle costs 3gp and the thread costs 1gp each.
Note: 1 thread is required for every four pieces of leather.
