Leather
Leather is one of the material types used by Tailors in Ultima Online. It can be purchased from NPC vendors but is usually harvested from corpses. Mostly it is used to craft Armor.
In order to obtain leather, you must first kill a creature then use a bladed weapon on the body. The Leather Hides will then be placed on the corpse for you to collect. These weigh five stones each, but can be converted to normal "cut" leather by using Scissors on them (reducing the weight down to a stone apiece). Either way leather is stackable.
Another way to harvest leather is to skin creatures with a Skinning Knife equipped. This way, the hides are automatically converted to leather then placed in your backpack. The same effect is also possessed by the Butcher's War Cleaver, except that this weapon is not required to be equipped for the automatic harvesting to "cut leather".
Hides can be turned in for reward points in the Britain Library Collection.
