Allow wearing simple helmets with animal-themed capes.

Animal capes are, arguably, coolest looking pieces of clothing in the game but they're severely underused (except maybe bear cape for early mining) because both their stats suck and they occupy two slots. Allow attaching simple non decorated and non face-covering helmets such as bronze or steel ones to capes (like how it works with fishing rods) which will give the cape armor value of the helmet.

Huge, huge support.
I actually made four angler capes for my village in World 16.1, but no one (including myself) has ever put them on. They're still hanging, unwanted and unloved, on the gilding house wall.

Way back in World 4, the bear cape and ranger cloak used to be very prevalent. They're so iconic, I drew fan art (lost to the sands of time, now) of my friends and I wearing them. We used to see rangers and fighters running around in them, before those gaudy hussar wings were introduced.

Nowadays, we have more hurdles to jump over before obtaining high quality animal hides, and I would never wear one in the early game as long as it conflicts with my lovely Boar Tusk Helmet.

Blessed be
Ye Valkyrie,
Bearer of the slain!


Bring back the bear cape! Just look at this flipping thing:

Bump cuz you just added a new cape which will probably be very aesthetically pleasing yet useless.

I am fairly certain I have not even seen noobs wearing them, not even temporarily - at all.
