Itching Powder Question

[Gamer234]

While seeking clarification regarding whether the Itching Powder can target footgear/headgear, I came across these two posts. They aren't contradictory, but the first is a definitive yes, whereas the more recent post says "might not." That being said, could we possibly get an official ruling on this?

Case for Not allowing footgear/headgear to be targeted: Clothing is clothing; hats and shoes are accesories. People always refer to the "shoes they bought to go along with the new outfit, blah blah."

However, if 'clothing' simply means anything worn (other than weapons and shields since the card specifies that), then the Itching Powder would be allowed to target footgear headgear.

Yes, and other Items which would clearly be worn, like Pantyhose of Giant Strength and Kneepads of Allure.

I've never gotten a satisfactory answer on this, believe it or not, so Headgear and Footgear might not count. Andrew might have to poke someone about that.
