	A hide shirt is more accurately called a leather breastplate. It consists of two or more layers of thick linseed-treated top-grain leather laminated with glue and lacquer into a segmented shell to cover the torso. It is lightweight and surprisingly protective, but quite rigid, so it is a bit restrictive. Due to its thick leather construction and good body coverage, it adds 3 points of protection against cold weather environmental effects, which stacks with cold weather clothing and other sources of environmental DR. This type of armor may be constructed from scavenged materials at no cost, but doing so requires a full day.
