I don’t use leather often (read: ever) but I believe you cut leather items (pants/jackets/exc.) by (a)ctivating a knife.

As for gathering it buturing hulks gave leather at one point But have not seen any in some time so I don’t know.

Butchering most critters without fur (that aren’t zombies or mechanical) can give leather patches. I think frogs due, bo going in a swamp is a death wish. Your best bed would be cutting up leather clothing, like was said before.

Also noteworthy, if you cut fur with scissors (and probably knives too), you’ll get a leather patch. Cutting up things that are made of fur will also give leather, and cutting all sorts of shoes (even sneakers) will give leather as well.

Huh. Most snakes & frogs are skinnable for leather. (Skinning generally requires about 3-4 Survival; 5 isn’t completely guranteed.)

Steak knife + Zombie hulk = more leather than you’ll ever need.

Steak knife + Heels/boots = safer.
