The '''Leather cape''' is a recurring piece of clothing in the {{DQSeries}}. It is typically a mid-level piece of clothing designed for spellcasters. 

It's thought by some fans due to their similar physical appearances in artwork that this item was meant to be a replacement for the [[Fur coat]] from {{Dragon Quest IV}} and the [[Fur cape]] from {{V}} ~ {{VII}}, with some even believing that these items all derive from the [[Mink mantle]] from {{Dragon Quest II}}.

==={{DQ8}}===
The Leather cape has a {{Defence}} bonus of +22. It can be worn by [[Angelo]] and [[Morrie]]. It can be purchased from [[Pickham]] and [[West Trodain Church]] for 1,100 [[gold]] coin and sold for 550 [[gold]] coins. One can be found in [[Argonia]]. The Leather cape is also dropped by various enemies, including [[Phantom fencer]]s, [[Hood]]s, [[Dullahan]]s, [[Dark sea-diva]]s, and [[Dark minister]]s.
