How hard would it be to remove scarf from Piper/Silver Shroud

[cosmat]

I was wondering how hard it would be to do the following:

 

I would like to be able to remove the scarf from either the Piper coat or the Silver Shroud Coat.

Posting those two up because they have the color/variations i want. Now the catch is i want my Slooty Vault Suit to be worn or to be visible underneath the coat. Either by making both of them wearable in game (ie changing the coat to be like a piece of armor while the slooty suit stays as clothing) or by merging them. Now would something like this require the use of 3dsm or Blender? or can it be done with Bodyslide Outfitter or nifedit or whatever other programs modders use?

 

Thanks!

You could probably use Photoshop to erase the scarf pieces with the eraser brush and save it so that alpha is enabled. This way, where the scarf was there would be nothing there! Then you could put the two pieces together in Outfit Studio.

 

I've had luck doing this for some of my outfit mashups - im not a mesh artist by any means so I've been doing texture workaround instead and they work great :)
