PWI - Valiant Set

I only entered this one piece to the PWI fashion design contest.

Key Points:

-COMPATIBILITY. Of late, PWI's fashion has been suffering a rather irritating trend where only items of the same set match up with each other. Try to mix & match, and more often than not you run into all kinds of clipping issues. This set alleviates some of that, since the pants will work equally well with low-top shoes and the more popular taller boots like Chain & Superstar. Ideally, the glove/gauntlet bit is bulky enough to clip ENTIRELY through even heavy jackets, letting the armor rest on top of thick tops like the Helmsley or Yule coat.

-Multi-class style. The asymmetric combination of armor & cloth wrap is intended to work well for both caster and warrior/melee types. While it's not an ultra-masculine design, neither is it emasculating like some of PWI's recent additions. (Shining Feather set, anyone? Good god.)

-Barbarian Hair. Illegal .INI mods aside, the primary reason barbs don't have hair options in PW is scaling. The character model was never designed for it, and barb heads as a whole are significantly larger than the human/elf ones. A hairstyle would have to be created specifically to match their size (and flagged "Barbarian Only"), but as .INI mods prove, it's certainly possible for them to HAVE hair.
-Unfortunately, character creation doesn't allow them a hair-color chooser either, so the simple and obvious solution is to allow dyes instead.
