Wouldn't mind it. The idea should go in Jay's Costume Request thread though, dev corner. He does read it.
I thought that was a gold trimmed pair of granny panties for a second o_O

Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
I wouldn't mind it, but I'd rather have them work on other costume options that feel more superhero and work with a wider range of concepts, than that hat.
The often requested Fox tail for example would work with more superhero concepts than that hat, for example.
And some updated skins of some of the options would be nice too

Ummmm, I don't follow that logic. How is a tail (for a specific species of animal) more superheroic and useful than a hat (for a specifc era)?

actually, I'd be all for a fox tail on a tricorn hat. It would allow me to recreate my state's natural "superhero" Francis Marion, aka The Swamp Fox.|

Frankly I really don't see the tricorn hat being any more limiting than the fox tail. You can make patriot characters (including New England Patriot homages), colonial characters (goes great with the Baron coat. anyone for Baron Munchausen?), pirates and ghost pirates, even offbeat characters like The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh. Also I recently read on the Internet about a (apparently nacent) concept dubbed "lacepunk", an attempt to push many Steampunk concepts back into the Age of Enlightenment (18th century). Knowing we have players that like steampunk and dieselpunk, I could see some working to achieve a Baron Munchausen-like "lacepunk" concept, and tricorn hats would be ideally suited for such creative ideas.

I think the implied meaning is that a fox like tail, that can be re-coloured to look like various other tails, would be more useful than one style of hat that, while you can recolour it, will still be the same hat.|
