He does have his duster. But, in addition to the head, it's an open-front garment (can be closed, but default-open). He sometimes skips it entirely "because of the heat," and would similarly leave it open for comfort. Again, someone veiled could just walk up and gut him.
I guess a duster-upgrade could be made to work, though; if it "covers" the head without actually covering the head, it could do the same for his front. He needs to build in some climate-control, though, so he doesn't just leave it behind!

The obvious solution is to make it Bonea's new digs.
Redecorated in "tween girl" themes of pink & purple, glitter & unicorns...
Bob visits once "for old times sake" and leaves, horrified... ;D

Harry as Junk Man, with Captain Kangaroo pockets and 15 minutes spent sorting his inventory before he can do anything. He isn't James Bond and he doesn't have Q to whip up the gadgets. I would settle for him using the gadgets he has. Like that nifty necklace with the maps.

Indeed, though I think his mother's "N.W.F or Nevernever Way Finder," is going to come in handy very soon.

It kinda had a "starring role" in Changes! I've wanted to see more.
But suspect that Jim finds it a challenge to write interestingly. Hearing a pre-recorded voice of his mother only carries so much narrative weight, after the first few times. In terms of the narrative, it can be reduced to a 1-liner along the lines of "a quick consultation with my mother's gem..."
(I mean, it gets a bit more wordcount each time it's 1st used in a book, simply because Jim needs to allow for new readers just jumping aboard. But we've already had the emotional "this is my mother's voice" scene.)
I seriously doubt we'll see it in Twelve Months. Jim has already said the book is a bit more "Daily Life" and "Guest Starring: The City of Chicago," which mostly would seem to preclude a Wayfinder-Gem storyline... Maybe the one after that?
I'm hoping (semi-expecting) that in TM he'll be interacting with the mortal Chicagoans who followed his Banner in BG.
