As Land Mantis (I think that's who), something like what he suggested would be great. Valve could just do one of these:

1. Change all of the current slots (Hat, Misc, Misc, and Action) into all "Cosmetic" slots, where you could choose any combination of actions, miscs, and hats (as long as they don't interefere because of equip regions). Someone could have like 4 miscs, 2 miscs and 2 actions, 2 hats and 2 actions, etc.

2. Add an extra slot for each type of cosmetic slot (2 hat, 4 misc, and 2 action).

3. Do exactly what Land Mantis said, have one slot for each equip region, so you could have 1 back, 1 beard, 1 hat, 1 shoes, etc. etc.
