Fashion Always Floats is a shop in the Merry Kraken, around the Flotilla, that specializes in Plumed Hair Do-Hickeys. This is a rotating shop and may not be available at certain times. 

[Fashion Always Floats] Room: 7134233
Roughly hewn pearwood walls, waterlogged and discolored, create a small, close-quarters kiosk covered by an awning fashioned from ragged sailcloth in sun-faded hues of red and yellow. Hay and dried sea grass are scattered across the ground, the brittle blades crumbling as shoppers move through the space. Despite being illuminated by several candle-filled bronze lanterns, the wares arranged within nearby chicken coops remain difficult to make out, resembling nothing more than piles of plucked feathers. You also see a series of painted boards resting against the waterstained walls.

Inventory

In the oak chicken coop you see: a deep blue lesser scaup feather, a dusky brown wigeon feather, a russet canvasback feather, a slate grey tundra swan feather, a ebon-tipped snow goose feather, an iridescent shelduck feather, a dark brown greylag goose feather, a pristine white goose feather, and a mottled beige duck semiplume.

Analyze:

As you contemplate a deep blue lesser scaup feather you realize that it is a small item and will never have much weight to it, therefore lightening it seems unnecessary.

You also note that certain parts of the feather translate into the color of beads, haircombs, and headbands.  Currently, that is carved azurite.

This feather is an off the shelf model (tier 0 of 4 tiers or OTS).  You are able to use the following verbs on it:  wear, remove, weave*, pull**, and attend.

Those verbs marked with * mean that they will create a hairstyle, and if it is marked with ** it will either remove the hairstyle or tell you what your current hairstyle looks like.

Even though the noun may be a type of feather, all hairstyles have pre-arranged ways that they will be displayed and your noun may not ever show in the hairstyle.  All feather types are allowed for the noun.

When getting these altered, feel free to express to the merchant the following information: "I would like to get the beads/haircombs/headband material/color changed to X Y Z, and I'd like to get the color/avian feather changed to A B C.
Any merchant that is comfortable with this item may unlock it to tier 2.

Lastly, the feather does not require you to be wearing a hairstyle for its verbs to work.  It can be worn with other hair items and still manipulated, the same as the hair baubles.
