In-Game Cover Items

I had been thinking of that for awhile too.. I'd love to wear a level 100 pirate hat instead of just a transparent hat all the time, but I don't want to lose the stats from my zakum helm. but yeah, having it in your inventory shouldn't be required. I think the only rule should be that you would be able to equip it with your current stats, level, and job, and that it's a normal class item.
