By that logic we need to add Stitch Hide into the personal inventory while keeping it on the bench. Stitch Hide would come in way more handy than Stretch Hide in the early game anyway. And also add Stretch Hide to the tanner’s bench.

Although if Funcom decides that each crafting recipe can only be in one place, Stretch Hide needs to be on the tanner’s bench with Stitch Hide. I spend very little time below level 60 and so do most players. Having both recipes on the tanner’s bench to support most of our game experiences will make the most sense.
