Bearskin is a type of leather produced when a cook butchers a grizzly bear or polar bear at a butcher table.

Acquisition

The following animals provide Bearskin.

  • Animal Leather Yield
    Grizzly bear 86
    Polar bear 86
  • Analysis

    Bearskin ties with elephant leather for 6th most protective textile against sharp and blunt, and 3rd against heat. They are very good candidates for dusters and other protective clothing - especially in temperate biomes.

    But even bearskin should be replaced by better materials, like devilstrand, once available. Dusters and other protective apparel receive priority. Using the best textiles on dusters has the most impact on protection. If you are limited on better textile, use extra bearskin for pants or button-down shirts.

    For use in furniture, it has a middle-of-the-road beauty factor. But more beautiful textiles are in high demand for clothing. So, once bearskin is redundant as clothing, it is a decent choice for furniture beauty.
