Mob loot

Zombies, husks, skeletons, strays and bogged have a small chance to spawn wearing armor, which may include a leather tunic. There is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop the tunic they're wearing upon death unless they are spawned from an ominous trial spawner. The dropped tunic is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted with enchantment levels 5-19.

Usage

When worn, a leather tunic provides 3 (🛡🛡) armor points.

Powder snow

As with all pieces of leather armor, wearing a leather tunic protects the player from freezing in powder snow.

Repairing

Two damaged leather tunics can be combined through crafting or using the grindstone. The durability of the used leather tunics are added together, plus an extra 5% durability. Both the crafting table and grindstone methods do not keep the enchantments of either tunic.

Armor trimming

It is possible to upgrade armor with trims. This requires a smithing template, a tunic, and an ingot or crystal (iron ingot, copper ingot, gold ingot, netherite ingot, emerald, redstone dust, lapis lazuli, amethyst shard, nether quartz, diamond, or resin brick).

These trims have no effect on the gameplay or strength of the armor.

Leather tunics can be dyed by combining it with dye(s) through crafting in Java Edition, or by using it on a cauldron containing dyed water in Bedrock Edition. Using dyed leather tunics on a cauldron containing ordinary water removes any dye from it.
