I have a dim recollection of this being tangentially referred to in a thread a month or more back.
...Can you do this? If so, does cost remain the same?
(Example "Vest of Resistance" instead of "Cloak of Resistance", using the chest slot rather than the shoulders slot.)
No, as this is akin to having custom items created.
If it isn't explicitly named and statted out in the book, you can't buy it, unless some other resource says otherwise.

Or if it is something that cannot be upgraded legally, per the FAQ, you cannot buy it.

Huh? I cannot buy a Ring of Invisibility because it cannot be upgraded legally?

Read my sentence and the one directly above it. Mine is an add-on to his, as in you cannot have Celestial Armor that is only +1, etc.

Save a few exceptions, you can buy any wondrous item/ ring/ rod/ staff in the core book so long as you have enough prestige. You cannot buy those type of items in variant forms, or modify them (like crafting them in a different slot).
Essentially the only items you can buy that are not explicitly listed in the book are:
I might have missed something, quick post.

Before this delves into too much confusion (because apparently there seems to be a lot already), you can buy items listed from an approved resource listed on the Additional Resources page (if you have the appropriate Fame) or any item that appears on a chronicle sheet that your character owns. You cannot re-purpose items to fit in different slots unless it appears in one of the two things I just listed.
The only legal example that I know of an item being repurposed is on the Chronicle for Tomb of the Iron Medusa. There is a gown of resistance +4 that costs the same as its cloak counterpart. It takes up the body slot instead of the shoulders.
/It's weird that it doesn't cost more.
//I know this because I want Nikolai to have this gown so I can buy a cool cape.
There is a named cloak in the Cheliax book that gives +2 Charisma as well.

I doubt it, the biggest reason for wanting to put stuff in alternate slots is because people want multiple stat boosting items and Ultimate Equipment is not going to change that. There are a few other items folks want in other slots, but it's unlikely there is going to be a solution for "I want cloak xyz but I 'need' a cloak of resistance"
