I have been tinkering with the armor and item json files and I made a new effect. It is valid, but i do not know how to add one to clothing. I was trying to make a blindfold that removes all vision. Any help is appreciated  
Ex:  
{  
“type” : “ARMOR”,  
“id” : “blindfold”,  
“name” : “Blindfold”,  
“name\_plural” : “Blindfolds”,  
“weight” : 100,  
“color” : “light\_gray”,  
“covers” : [“EYES”],  
“to\_hit” : -1,  
“storage” : 0,  
“symbol” : “[”,  
“description” : “A blindfold, use to blind yourself.”,  
“price” : 100,  
“material” : [“cotton”, “null”],  
“volume” : 1,  
“cutting” : 0,  
“warmth” : 0,  
“phase” : “solid”,  
“environmental\_protection” : 1,  
“encumbrance” : 2,  
“bashing” : -4,  
“flags” : [“SKINTIGHT”],  
“coverage” : 100,  
“material\_thickness” : 2  
}

Make a flag that causes the item to have that effect when worn.

See: Night vision goggles and its flags for reference.
