A way to get around this (and probably a work-intensive way), is to recreate each hempen style as a separate item, and modeling it to each race's model.
I think the game is on a completely different engine so I doubt any bugs from 1.0 would still persist. And it would be strange to create a special underwear tag or whatever for this one piece of gear to work differently when there's no benefit to it. I'm pretty sure they just made it regular gear when they eliminated the underwear slot.

They would have to recreate the gear for each race either way. It's one item that changes appearance depending on who wears it, you would have to add additional items for each style to be separated.
