Magical Clothing

[Mark]

What is the most unusual article of magical clothing that has ever been introduced in one of your campaigns?


The Veil of Disguise was one in a campaign I ran some time back. It remained attached to the hat and when lowered allowed you to look like someone other person (though not a specific someone else). It was essentially a instant, generic facial disguise kit.

A garter of protection or a corset of beauty. Not that they didn't make sense just a big out of the norm. Ok well the second one made sense.

The Jockstrap of Ogre Size. Really. The Jock made your....equipment... as large as an Ogre's. It sounded like a blessing at first, but it soon became obvious to the players that this was a cursed item...

I created a few useless magic clothing items for A'kin's Friendly Fiend shop in Sigil (A'kin is a Planescape Arcanoloth NPC that runs a magic item trinket shop).

1. Vampire Goggles - protects a vampires eyes from sunlight (but not the rest of its body)

2. Bandanna of Ever-Present Perspiration - Cools down body temperature from hot weather, but causes unstoppable sweating.

3. Cloak of Indefinitely Blowing Wind - There always appears to be a draft blowing this cloak around (I had a player actually buy this for his rogue so he always looks amazing while standing in front of people). I actually got this idea from someone online years ago.

4. Gloves of Warmth - Keeps your hands perfectly warm in any cold temperature no matter what degree it is.

5. Slippers of Toe-Nail Grooming - Grooms your toe-nails once a day.

6. Everclean Handkerchief - Bodily fluids vanish from handkerchief when it's used.

7. Hat of Hair-growth - Restores bald spots and thinning hair for 8 hours a day.

8. Cloth of Teeth Whitening - Restores discolored teeth back to a pearly white for 1 hour a day.

9. Necklace of Accents - Makes your voice have a random accent for 8 hours a day.

I have many more useless magic items I've made for A'kin's shop, but these are all the clothing related items

See, now I wouldn't call any of those "useless" (except maybe the Ogre Jockstrap...which is just funny). I imagine that there are some articles of clothing that have no game purpose, but would be incredibly useful to affluent or professional folk. I can imagine others:

Apron of Stain Resistance -- stains are a thing of the past!
Breeches of Lavender Breezes -- keeps you smelling fresh no matter where you've been or what you ate
Valtrex's Necklace of Immunity -- the oldest magic item for the oldest profession
Kerchief of Sweet Scents -- keeps out bad smells
Chapeau of Cooking -- insight bonus to cooking skill
Hat of Shade -- protects vs. heat and bright light
Mask of Pleasant Dreams -- get a good night's rest in the brightest/noisiest conditions
Brooch of Dryness -- dries you off almost instantly
Iron-seam clothes --they never rip or wear from casual use.

Actually sort of useful but:
Chef's hat of storing

Like gloves of storing, but a hat, a white poofy hat.

Laser pants.

Yes, a player made up a story that mixed Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat with Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks, and the prismatic series of spells. Hence was born the legend of the laser pants, capable of slicing through anything the wearer kicked.
