Tanned Leather is one of the more important resources in Windrose since it's required in several recipes. Obtaining this leather isn't too difficult, but you'll need to clear a fair bit of in-game content and build an additional item.
Let's find out how you can get a steady supply of Tanned Leather in the game.

How to get Tanned Leather in Windrose
Tanned Leather can be crafted in Windrose. For starters, you'll need to collect raw hides, which can be obtained quite easily via hunting animals. If you're in the early game stage, either wolves or deer work. They're not so dangerous, and you can kill them quite easily. You'll also need your skinning knife in hand to get the hide.
Now that you have your raw hide, you'll need to get a Tanning Rack. This item has to be unlocked via its recipe, and it allows you to dry different items. This process is necessary when you want to convert the raw hide into Tanned Leather.
You can make Clay Bottles from the Alchemy Table. Once it's done, you can now make Tannin with Hardwood Bark and a Clay Bottle. You'll need this item for the production of Tanned Leather.
Once you have built and placed your Tanning Rack, add the raw hide to one of its slots. Add either a tanning agent or a source of fuel that will be consumed during the process. If you have Tannin, it will work just fine.
You'll need to wait for some time for the process to complete. Once done, you'll have your Tanned Leather.
How to use Tanned Leather in Windrose
Tanned Leather has plenty of use when it comes to crafting armor. Almost every mid and end-game item will need Tanned Leather. The demand for it goes up once you unlock Foothills, which is the second biome in the game.
However, you can start collecting the required materials like Clay and Rough Hides early to make things easier when you'll actually need Tanned Leather in your inventory.
