While items of [[clothing]] made by a [[clothier]] aren't technically "armor", they do offer limited protection. Shell and bone armors are made by a [[bone carver]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]]. Chain mail and plate mail are made with the [[armoring]] labor at a [[metalsmith's forge]]. Leather armors are made at a [[leather works]] by a dwarf with the [[leatherworking]] labor enabled. The type of [[metal]] used affects the effectiveness of the armor, but all leather, bones and shells are equal in their protection multiplier (see table below).
