The issue of hair clipping through the hood would also be fixed if they removed the hoods and made high-collars like with the Swangrace robe which I loved, but only from the waist-up. The could have the hoods be made /visor-able; small animation of your character pulling the hood on and off if said robe has a hood. It was a popular request for people when they obtain their lvl50 WHM robe; a lot of disappointment when people couldn't and often are stuck with circlets that only worked with certain hairstyles that showed the forehead.

Now I feel like drawing robe designs xD
