As I understand, the q of the clothing softcaps the bonus, so if you have a q 90 gluethread and use it on a q90 strawhat you get the full bonus, use a q40 lynx cape and you get less bonus. The only reason you would use a lynxcape is for the higher chance of an extra slot, since it's affinity is agility, however you cannot apply more than one of the same of type of gilding. So you could use a gluethread on a lynxcape, get lucky, and then use some hard metal rivets.
And yes, using a hat and a cloak is better since capes use 2 slots for 1 gilding.
