felt leather catch and tear as a huge fang nipped at her jerkin

Does "leather" refer to "her jerkin"?

Thanks in advance

She edged away from the skull and backed into a second, larger than the first. For an instant she could feel its teeth digging into her shoulder, as if it wanted a bite of her flesh. Arya whirled, felt leather catch and tear as a huge fang nipped at her jerkin, and then she was running.
