Hey, with the glamour system incoming, there's clothing items from 1.x that never made it back into 2.x. I speak of weathered clothing like what we got from the story quest. And there's a lot of them:

I especially would love the option to buy the Weathered Moccasins. Right now, only disciples of war can wear any form of moccasins. Those are some really great looking boots models that would be great to have even on a caster for glamour.

So my suggestion is, like the npc that sells the racial starting gear, why not add a vendor that sells old weathered gear. Even if said gear isn't dyable, what harm is there in adding them back in and having us spend a little gil in buying weathered gear?
