Making leather requires a [[tanner's shop]], a raw hide or [[skin]] from an animal, and a dwarf with the [[tanning]] labor turned on - rotten hides or skin cannot be tanned. The [[human]] and dwarven [[caravan]]s usually sell various boxes of leather, which can be useful if few [[Butcher|butcherable]] animals inhabit the map. Each butchering job yields a single hide, and each unrotten hide yields one or more units of usable leather depending how large the creature was. The [[value]] of the leather depends on the critter it comes from; leather made from the skins of rare or dangerous animals can be quite [[Value#Material_multipliers|valuable]]. Tanners can turn a skin from a severed part of an animal into the full-size leather. | Making leather requires a [[tanner's shop]], a raw hide or [[skin]] from an animal, and a dwarf with the [[tanning]] labor turned on - rotten hides or skin cannot be tanned.

− | Dwarven tanners have a skill unknown to mere humans | + | Dwarven tanners have a skill unknown to mere humans in that they can make the softest skin of the tiniest animal equally hardy as that of the most heavily protected live creature. Whether they make flimsy skin into a rock-like substance or tough hide silky and supple remains a mystery. |
Dwarves will not claim and wear clothes made from the leather of [[Learns|sentient]] creatures as part of their civilian attire. This taboo may be caused by dwarven [[ethics]], which forbid the butchering of sentient creatures. | Dwarves will not claim and wear clothes made from the leather of [[Learns|sentient]] creatures as part of their civilian attire.
