You have to remember though, this piece is specifically a npc's unique attire, and has the eyepatch as a part of it because.... well... that npc needed it (the assumption was that Edda actually tore her own eye out so as to give it to 'Avarre' for use as another vessel 'he' could inhabit (or rather, the naga voidsent masquerading as him). This isn't a generic hat. It's specifically part of the outfit's design which that npc wore. So I don't see SE changing that I'm sorry to say.
