Just rebuild it on login, otherwise you're gonna have tons of problems.

when someone logs in and loads a saved character:
0. strip all overlays if there are any
1. check what items they have, which ones are equipped
2. for the ones that are equipped, add up all the overlays and apply them

Wow that sounds good and it sure works but I'm a novice at this and do not know how you do that looks like this?
mob
    Login()
        src.overlays //?? like that?

Mob
    Login()
        //load here
        src.overlays.Cut()
        HandleEquipmentOverlays()


Then in handle equipment overlays, you'd call each equipped items get overlay function and attach it to your mob. You should write a get overlay proc for anything that can give one.

obj/overlays/sword
    icon = 'different_icon.dmi'
    icon_state = "icon_state"

    var/equipped = 0
    var/overlay_type = null
    proc/isequipped()
        //you can write logic here in the future, if you need to
        return equipped
    proc/get_overlay(mob/m)

        return overlay_type

        icon = 'weapons.dmi'
        icon_state = "sword"
        overlay_type = /obj/overlays/sword

        isequipped()
            //you can override isequipped logic per item, if needed.
            //for example, you could return false if this object isn't allowed in the game anymore due to a balance update
            if(is_weapon_allowed(src))
                return equipped
            return 0

mob
    Login()
        overlays.Cut()
        for(var/obj/weapon/o in src)
            if(o.isequipped())
                src.overlays += o.get_overlay(src)
        ..()
