It would be a cool to see armor we could make from the animal parts(horns, teeth, etc) we collect.

Or varying properties of, say, Beak Thing leather versus Gorillo leather, but that would probably get too complicated for the current storage system.

I'm unsure about this one. On one hand, I can only think of them as "tribal" looking armors, like the sort Mattk50 posted, but on the Other hand, what better trophy is there to wear what you kill? Sure it makes sense to make clothing out of the numerous wild animals in Kenshi (I play with nests set to x3), but then there's the problem of having to create and store inventory items for different animal skins (and other body parts), which is a whole mess of new items to have wonky icons, descriptions, prices, and storage for.

I'm also worried that with animal specific armor, the game would drive into a "monster hunter"-esque style where you farm specific animals to upgrade your armor and weapons slightly. I don't think anyone wants to see that in Kenshi.
