“A black, heavy leather jacket.”— Fallout 2 In-game description

Leather jacket is a piece of armor in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics

The leather jacket is pre-War attire, but it is possible that craftsmen of the post-War world are making it to this day. It is constructed of tanned brahmin hide, much like leather armor. While it lacks in terms of protection, there are special things that can happen while wearing it:

• Can be used to recruit Dogmeat in Junktown.
• Sometimes a male character wearing a leather jacket can convince the Khans that he is the Death-Hand, Garl's father, returned from the dead after Garl killed him.

Locations

Fallout

• A locker on level 2 in Vault 15.
• Inside a fridge at the Khan Base.
• Can be bought from Killian Darkwater in Junktown.

Fallout 2

• Worn by Sulik.
• Floor of Golden Globes porn studio in New Reno.
• It is sold by the shopkeepers in Klamath.
• Found in various random encounters.
• Found in Mercenaries' cave, after falling in a trap where the radscorpions are.
• Found in a grave in Golgotha.
