Cosmetics - Do they have to restrict this?

There are literally so many cosmetics that fits perfectly toghter, but are still banned. This really limits the creativity you can do when making cosmetic loadouts, and often ends up: Be unoriginal or ugly. I just made this to show you an example: http://imgur.com/a/GRnyD

Sadly this old scout will never run trough the maps of TF2. Hes time is over before it ever began. Anyone knows a way to make Valve aware of this, and potentially fix it? There is quite a few cosmetics that should be able to be put toghter. If you know how to tell Valve, please tell. If you got some cosmetics you think shall be able to stack, you can also tell.

PS: Not really on topic, but this seemed like a nice place to post it, so I'll either get a ton of hate thrown at me, or some nice supportive people that could actually tell me what to do with this post if its posted wrong in any way.

Yes, that would be cool in some situations, but it's also nice having something to look forward too. Still, some halloween items aren't even halloween themed.

Not all of them. Some are just to weird, change the appearance of the class too much and might be a problem in comp (like for example that pumpkin hat that makes you head look huge, or those alien cosmetic for the scout).
But a lot of them are not even Halloween themed and are less extreme than a lot of regular cosmetics and I don't see a reason to make those year round.

@OP: totally agree. I play around on loadout.tf quite a bit and it's kinda frustrating how many items there are that fit together perfectly, have zero clipping issues (sometimes they touch each other/one covers parts of the other etc. but it looks intentional or doesn't look buggy at all but creates a completely new look) but still can't be used together for no apparent reason.

I think there should be no restrictions whatsoever on which items you can equip at the same time.
So what if there might be clipping issues? If you don't like it, don't use them together. But if you think it still looks good despite clipping, why shouldn't you be able to combine the items? Doesn't hurt anyone. If fact it would be great for the market, because people will buy items they wouldn't buy otherwise because now they can use them together with the ones they already have.

if you wanna let valve know your best bet is just an email to a tf2 staff member. you'd need to lookup the equip regions for hats and try to find a way to change them so it works better. i imagine they'd be open to simple equip region changes but i doubt they'd commit to implementing a new system or maybe even adding more (more precise) regions

as a sidenote i love loadouts that clip horribly so please dont fix any of them

Thanks for that. I've sent them a mail, so we'll see how long it takes for them to respond. I've given them some arguments of why they shall do it both simple, and make profit out of it. If they respond, and are willing to work on it, I'll find combinations that shall be allowed to be combined, and then it would be helpfull if you all could send me some cosmetics combinations you want ingame. Wish me good luck!

For every 1 combination that looks good, there's a dozen that looks terrible. The way equip regions work, there are not special cases for equip regions. Things that conflict are denied. A fix to this would require a bottom-up rewriting of the entire equip region with manual exceptions for every single item combination (or if nothing else, constantly be updated as per user request.) The exception is changing of certain item equip regions (changing hat only items to misc, for example) but otherwise valve really doesn't enjoy having to update items beyond changes the creator of the item contacts them specifically about updating.

In conclusion, don't get your hopes up.

You might be right, but there won't be a change if I don't do anything, so I'd take that chance.
