Trivia[]

In Skyrim's loading screens, a female Wood Elf can be seen wearing an unobtainable variant of the Leather Armor, most noticeably without the pauldrons.
This set of armor was originally going to be the Studded Armor set, as seen in concept art for the game, but was later changed to leather, since studded armor wasn't meant to have a full set.
Although there is no metal used in the crafting of this armor, there are noticeable metallic add-ons on the armor: the large decorative buckles, and the buckles on the sides.
