📋 About This Mod
Donations are welcome but -only- from those in a comfortable position to do so.
Replacers - no standalone versions planned.
Uses only vanilla assets so this should be compatible with any retextures.
All body types. No beast race support.
Commissioned by Miguel.
This isn't quite my usual style, but the client had -very- particular specifications. So.
Fun note: The Leather Set was originally designed to be thief/stealth-centric. This kind of leans into that original concept. Kind of.
Theses helmets fit VERY SNUGLY to the pc's head so clipping may occur if you have extreme facial morphs or the biggest facial hair. Tested with a standard beard with no noticeable issues.
Options are as follows:
Fighter:
Closest to vanilla. Think "scrappy sword and board fighter" with this one. Skilled enough to not need full face protection.
Brute:
Adds a forehead strap and lowers the brow section. Was going for an almost Conan universe kind of vibe here. Heavily inspired by the Skyblivion leather helmet.
Sneak Thief:
Similar to fighter but adds a sneaky mask and buckle. Ninja vibes~
Prowler:
Similar to the Sneak Thief design but with an added headband and buckle. Scout/Ranger/Higher ranking Thieves Guild vibes.
Spooky:
Similar to Prowler but adds more buckles and an alternative mask with spooky stitching. This one is aimed at Dark Brotherhood types. Sneaky but also a little edgy. Slight bondage vibes.

I am not taking request at this time.
So if you ask for AIO, different versions, adjustments, or other requests, the answer will be no. ❤️
