Clown outfit yet viera+hroth can't wear the NOSE? Are you serious right now?

I would guess that possibly having the "hat" visible, even if it's just a nose, might trigger the hair to do something strange that they want to avoid happening.

That said, the obvious solution that benefits all players would be to have SEPARATE gear pieces for the nose alone and the hat-and-nose combo, especially when we have to buy them piece by piece anyway instead of being given the whole set.
