Characteristics

The leather armour consists of a simple breastplate and faulds made out of brown leather held on the body with belts. This lightweight armour provides a decent amount of protection early in the game and can even be equipped by characters and vocations who cannot wear heavier armour.

Appearances

Dragon Quest

The leather armour can be bought at Tantegel/Brecconary, Garinham, and Cantlin for 70 gold. Due to text restrictions in the Game Boy Color remake of Dragon Quest, the leather armour was renamed to Leathr with a symbol for armor next to it. It is known as the leather suit in the Mobile versions.
