was considering making a black hand set, however i have a few hold ups.
The biggest issue being the hat. I've made a few articles of clothing in the past, but never a hat so i'm uncertain of what to do with that. I was considering forgoing it, but that make the outfit even harder to recognize since it isn't a very distinct set in the first place.

I was considering working around this by making an iconic dark souls shield to go with the set and also using make-up to give myself the appearance of a hollow. do you think that would do it or should I just try for the hat or just go for a more iconic set?
