I don't believe you can see that one in first person though. and I also believe I have found a way to fix it if you can.
Yay :D
Hey, I had an idea: You know, this hat system is a model that mounts to your head, right?
Why not make it able to have other things, like custom feet, hands, bodies. Mount a model made to fit onto the respective body part.
i.e. bracelets, body armor, vests, pistol holsters, pockets.
EDIT: With this, you could make the beta player that was being worked on, separate models mounted to you.
