I could be mistaken but I believe there is currently not too many things that cover this area besides a few masks that also cover additional slots,
as well as the pipe and cigar and bandit mask? I'm not even sure about all of these.
I propose the addition of some more scarf/shawl type gear for this area,
more things that look visually similar to the bandit mask but don't necessarily have to have the same effect.
Could be gildable, have mild stats, and could potentially mitigate bird lung and coalers cough or something?
