Red Mage glamours

So, with Stormblood coming in a few months, and with Red Mage confirmed to share gear with Summoner and Black Mage, I can imagine people are preparing to gear up.

I've been collecting caster dps Ironworks gear for a few days now, and frankly, it looks like crap for a Red Mage. So I've been doing some research on a nice-looking glamour to put on the Ironworks gear, but I've run into one tiny little problem...

The lack of a good hat.

I've seen a few glamours that looked amazing, but they were on jobs like Bard, which has the really good AF lvl50 hat. Of course, it's job-exclusive. Example:

I'm looking for a hat that has a similar aesthetic, something that fits well with the classic Red Mage style. Being lvl50 limits my options, but maybe the people here on the forum might provide some original insights.

Thanks in advance!

As a main bard since 2.0, i feel offended that my hat is getting abused for redmage glamour.

EDIT: Last minute thought; I think if you dye this to red, you might come even closer to a redmages hat. http://xivdb.com/item/2650/company+hat Though I agree, the black color part is heavier. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All I can say is they better put a decent armor set in the game along with the release of red mage that gives it its iconic look. The hat is absolutely non negotiable lol. I must have a good red mage hat!!!

You mean like the armor the red mage was wearing in the Red Mage announcement?

Oh I am sure there will be good red mage hats come SB, the trouble would be before that. Need something fancy to wear for the 50-60 journey. If only the World of Darkness hat was able to be dyed. a Bit pointy but I think it looks nice.

Exactly like that

I tried the Company Hat, not as iconic as the BRD one, but it still works as makeshift red mage. Posted this time ago on the elezen thread

Considering RDM and their feathered cap has been in the FF universe longer than the BRD, I'm not sure why you're offended. RDM has been around since the original FF (1987). BRD didn't show up until FF III(1990).

I would love for that to happen!

SAM and RDM won't have any unique set till 70, the ones from the videos for sure, unless they decide to give one along with the quest that unlock the class and that would be nice, like a less detailed/complex version but still iconic.

Are we not getting that fancy stuff the red mage was wearing in the trailer?

Damn, now I gotta actually look/farm for this stuff.

The gear in the trailer is the artifact armor for RDM (as is the gear in the trailer for samurai the artifact armor for SAM), we'll get it at the same time all the other jobs get their "AF3" (artifact 3) gear. It will be the gear for the first proper tomestone grind at level 70, equivalent to what esoterics were in Heavensward (which came after law, which was the "get started into HW endgame" gear mostly and was a lot easier to get lol). We didn't get anything iconic for DRK, AST or MCH when we unlocked them at level 30 or even got to 50 sadly which was disappointing, it would be very cool if we got something for Red Mage on unlock or at least at level 60.

A close option you can do is using the Holy Rainbow Hat, however it lacks a feather:

Straw Capeline might be good option when afar, but unfortunately lacks a feather too:

Company Hat, as mentioned before, is a potential option, but lacking a full-dye option it isn't quite fitting:

Finally, you could try and use the High House Cloche, and while it does have feathers, the hat itself is not fitting, but I would say a filler option worthy of use:

We aren't going to have a proper RDM hat until Stormblood comes out, but that's naturally what's going to happen since RDM will be introduced properly ingame then.

While it may not be as big as the standard red mage hat, you could try and use the hat from last years valentines event. Or go full songbird.

I'll just be Glamming my Tidus pants and all, don't really care for the outfit sets that make you look the job. What i hope for is swords that don't look just like Raiper style, switch it up some you know?
Stuff like this and all:

Or at least let us glam Lightning's sword onto it, that is the one thing FFXI still holds over this, choices for weapon styles. Now that PS3 is being dropped i'd love to see that freedom come back.
