Discounting the Defias masks in Westfall (Because they do nothing but look cool), if you're an Engineer you can be the first to get a hat/helmet/whatever at level 10 with the Flying Tiger Goggles. Tailors can indeed make Asure Silk Hoods early on, but they're pretty much useless to most since they only offer armour (No stats), and being cloth you'll get around 0.2% extra damage reduction on it.
