Leather armor (Fallout 3)

Leather armor in Fallout 3 is an enhanced, one long sleeved, black leather jacket. The female version also lacks a left sleeve, and has football shoulder pads in place of the Road Warrior style pauldrons.

It offers significant protection, being comparable to the recon armor and superior to Vault security armor and the raider armors (badlands, blastmaster, and sadist). Effectively, it's the "poor man's" combat armor. It is a typical armor for mercenaries.

Jericho wears a unplayable version of leather armor, which cannot be taken from him or used by the player and has a different ID. Like the leather jacket armor in the previous Fallout games, this one lacks one of its sleeves.

A unique version of leather armor exists, the Wanderer's leather armor.

Cut versions
Three cut versions of leather armor can be found in the game files. They are identical to leather armor in all but name and can only be obtained via console commands.

They are:
 * Commando armor
 * Defender armor
 * Road rascal leather armor

Behind the scenes
It being a black color and resembling the outfit worn by Mad Max in Road Warrior, an Easter egg previously done by the leather jacket.
