I realize it's not the the sort of sash that everyone wants, but the Elemental Order belt seems like it could serve as a substitute in a pinch.

Back when Khelds were introduced, they were making the npcs as a kind of 1-piece character model, not a collection of costume pieces. Because of that, those pieces needed to be re-developed from scratch, not just ported over to player characters.
A few issues ago, one of the devs noted that most NPCs were being built differently-- using the character creator rather than as a single art asset-- and that this would make porting over those new costume pieces to players much easier.
Thats how we got the CoT pieces so quickly, and that's why we only have the female sash- it was only re-done for the female Carnival of Light NPCs.
I fully support making this sash available for male characters (and making it have patterns other than checkers... and making it available under belt options for jackets and other places. I'm just correcting the incorrect assumption that this 'already works for males."

Females already have a wide variety of gender non-specific costume parts that are locked away behind enemy lines.
Every new pack that's being released offers them both the male costume set -and- a unique set for themselves, yet the unique pieces for males are being ported over without a second thought.
So why no sash? Why no short padded gloves or dragon bracers or all the other pieces that both genders could use? Why aren't males being included in gender equality changes?
I still want a Kheldian sash devs please tyvm that is all.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
chase brings up a point. rather than just asking for a copy of the carnie sash, perhaps a really nice addition would be for them to make a general sash with various patterns(and blank, of course) perhaps a dragon or kanji pattern, a generic magic rune one, and, if the devs are feeling crazy, one with a series of symbols printed going down the hangy thing that is supposed to be kheldian writing. that way we cover kung fu, magic and kheld and still have the blank of generic patterned one for other concepts. also, heres a thought, can we get a sash that works with robes too? since ten brought up the martial arts element, and i would eventually want it too, robes right now are a big part of the martial arts look, so it would kind of have to work with them too.

I'll sign this too. My male characters want a sash as well, can we please have one that works for both genders, and isn't excluded from use with jackets? I would love to pair the steampunk jacket and skirt with the carnie sash, but currently I can't

Remember how we were all asking for an upgrade to the Circle of Thorns outfits?
Remember how we were all asking for the Kheldian sash?
I don't remember the first but I definitely remember the second.

Now, my Warshade has finally taken over his host (for the most part- as a Rogue he occasionally can influence the parasite) and has gone Nictus, as his posessor was always intended him to be after Going Rogue, and doesn't care about the sash. I have no Peacebringer to appeal to, really.
That said, I see no reason that something as "Iconic" to the Kheldan concept as that sash NOT being included as an option. I remember when Kheld's first came out. I remember the desire for the sash, and it's recurrance over the years.
The fact that it's made (albeit for the "carnie" set) and still not available across genders tells me the costume design folks are newer than these requests, and not evil by design (especially with Dink weighing in on costume topics recently) but more... less aware of the request/desire.
It doesn't affect me either way (currently... though I may get a character concept just from posting about this) but it might in the future. I'd rather have the option to create a Sunstorm "acolite" that accepts the sash as his desire to be a Kheld, free from the bonds of possession those before he/she is known for, or in recompense as a Warshade for those they've already possessed.
On the other hand...
IF that's why it's ported over, I wouldn't allow the costume part for any other character than PB's and Warshades. If for no other reason than I'm a pancake like that.

I couldn't agree more.

Shoot, I would buy it. No need to make it free, I will pay for a male/huge version of the sash.

My robot pirate ninja master has been wanting a proper swashbucklin' sash since Issue 6. The CoT one is the closest I've found to the original costume concept I had, but I like the Carnival sash better. I hope it gets ported sometime.
