Before anyone gets on my case about this post, the bonuses listed are linked to bonus given from eating that animals roasted meat.
Yes, but even if there were bonuses, people would still use bear capes cause everyone's a heavy duty PKer. These are just things I was thinking of, I forgot to consider the fact that they might not actually be used. For people like me that don't have bear capes yet and still like cosmetic items, these ideas to them!
Also, the Bunny Ears would probably not get used because people might rather get +2 agility from the slippers... forgot to consider these things.

no cosmetic item will ever be used if someone could get a bonus from another item that equips in the same spot. not everyone would go for the bear cape either, I'd drop mine in a cupboard if I had something that gave a nice(comparable to boosts from bear cape) boost to intelligence, perception, survival, marksmanship, or exploration. bear capes give an ok strength bonus, but strength isn't everything.
about your bling belt, can stats be negative? I've never improved stealth and without nettles I'd never be over 1...not much of a thief so no real use for it.
and since you don't know how to play the game yet, heres my guide to making bear capes in 10 simple steps:
step 1 get a boat
step 2 get hunting(this could be switched with step 1)
step 3 get a sling
step 4 improve marksmanship so it doesn't take 10 hours to aim
step 5 chip a shitload of stone
step 6 find bear near river(lure it with a quick shot if its too far inland)
step 7 shoot, alot...bears rarely run, only have 800 hp, and when they get low on health they get mad and try even harder to kill you which makes them easier to kill
step 8 skin bear, butcher it and collect bones(gets you 4 bear teeth)
step 9 dry bear fur
step10 make bear cape from dried fur and 2 teeth(or does it take all 4?), and enjoy
