The Leather armour, also known as the Leather suit, is a recurring suit of armour in the Dragon Quest series. It is light armour which is often equipped near the beginning of various games.

Characteristics[edit]

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. In some games such as X and Stars, the leather trousers were introduced as a legwear counterpart.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest[edit]

Due to text restrictions in the Game Boy Color remake of Dragon Quest, the leather armour was renamed to Leathr with a symbol for armour next to it. It is known as the Leather suit in the Cell phone versions.
