Ooooor... you could craft Faction Capes with wool, string, leather. dyes and others once you reach +1000 with them and put them on an inventory slot just like mods such as : Project Superhuman

Then shields are crafted with +250 with a faction, but you can still craft factionnless ones such as Iron, Bronse, Gold, Wood etc... without alignment needs.
