Added DiffLines:
TheHardHat's description is ambiguous, with its first half being about concealing something hard underneath a hat to protect yourself, while the second half and image are about having a metal plate in your head that protects you from head injuries or psychic attacks. These seem like two distinct tropes, so this is to check to see how the trope is being used in the wild.

[[folder: Metal Plate in head]]
# DisabilityImmunity: TheHardHat is when a steel plate left in the skull from surgery makes someone immune to MindRape.
# GunsAndGunplayTropes: A steel plate in the skull from a long-ago injury. Might become handy one day and defy a BoomHeadshot.
# ImmunityAttrition: ''Literature/TheTommyknockers'': due to '''[[TheHardHat a metal plate in his skull]]''', Jim Gardener is initially unaffected by the alien spaceship, while everyone else around him slowly starts to "become" (mutate into aliens).
# TisOnlyABulletInTheBrain: ''Series/KnightRider'': Police detective Michael Long takes a .32 pistol shot to the head after a sting operation goes sideways. He needs [[MagicPlasticSurgery extensive facial reconstruction]] but comes away with no apparent brain injury thanks to '''[[TheHardHat a surgical steel plate in his skull]]''' from a previous injury.
# Characters.GoldenKamuyTheHokkaido7thDivision: He has a huge metal plate on his forehead. Cranial fluid still oozes out from time to time.
# Characters.TheTexasChainsawMassacre: He has a metal plate in his head.
# ComicBook.JFKSecretOps: Kennedy has a metal plate in his head from his assassination attempt.
# Film.{{Bulletproof}}: Carter has a metal plate in his head that was implanted during surgery after he sustained a gunshot wound. It turns out to be an effective weapon in hand to hand combat.
# Film.NationalLampoonsChristmasVacation: Eddie mentions he once had a metal plate in his head, but would forget who he was whenever his wife turned on the microwave, so it was replaced with plastic. Inverted in that he doesn't use Clark's non-stick spray when going tobogganing because he doubts the strength of the plastic.
# Film.ScannerCop: At the end, Glock initially resists Sam's psychic attack because of his steel plate, though it peels away the hair on his head. Sam then concentrates really hard and [[YourHeadAsplode gets the desired result]].
# Literature.TheTommyknockers: Gardener and Ev Hillman are immune to the effects of the spaceship, because they have metal plates in their heads (Gardener because of a skiing accident, Ev because of a war wound). Anne Anderson is somewhat protected by extensive metal dental work. In case of Gard however, [[ImmunityAttrition several weeks of working day in, day out to dig up the ship eventually results in so much exposure to the ship that despite his metal plate, he too slowly starts to "become"]], making it harder for him to keep his mind from getting read.

[[folder: Hat protects character]]
# Characters.RurouniKenshinTheTenSwords: He wears a steel-lined headband to protect his head, as his "fall" was caused by a bullet to the forehead. '''I guess?'''
# Characters.SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries: His skullcap is plated in Adamantium, allowing him to shrug off any sort of impact to the head.
# Characters.ThisBitesStrawHatPirates: In Chapter 38, his cap is added, padding and metal plating changing it from accessory to armor. '''Multiple tropes are listed on one line'''
# ComicStrip.KnightsOfTheDinnerTable: A throwaway gag in a filler strip has Newt claiming his character is crouching real low and taking cover behind his "Kevlar watch cap".
# Fallout4.TropesDToI: Some hats can be upgraded with ballistic weave, giving them protection that actually outclasses any non PowerArmor helmet.
# Literature.ButlerParker: Butler Parker usually wore a bowler hat that was fortified with a steel inlay - both as a weapon and to prevent being knocked-out from behind.
# Series.TheAvengers1960s: Steed's trademark bowler hat was lined with steel, though he more often used it to clonk people than to protect himself.
# SpongeBobSquarePants.TropesDToI: "An experienced fry cook always keeps a brick of lead under his hat," to prevent other employees from stomping or harming it, as Squidward [[AgonyOfTheFeet learns]].
# VideoGame.KerbalSpaceProgram: Kerbonaut helmets are apparently hard enough to survive impacts that would otherwise kill the wearer.
