The very first hat he is seen with was said to be earned by entering an official Pokémon League contest, and the other two were given to him by his mom.
- In the Electric Tales of Pikachu manga, Misty used Ash's hat as the goal for the Cerulean Gym battle... against his will. Then it got sillier.
- Assuming the thing on Brendan's head is hair (seriously, even the artists seem to get confused), his counterpart Ruby from Pokémon Special has a nice enough hat for the both of them.
- Also count is Red from Pokemon Special. He had his hat on while swimming, taking a bath, and even when he's literally half-naked in FRLG. It never fell off even in the most dire of consequences only on the last part of FRLG because the writer wanted both pikachus to return it in Emerald saga.

Knuckles the Echidna of Sonic the Hedgehog fame randomly got a Nice Hat in the Sonic OVA. For the sadness of many (okay, some), the OVA is the only time where he wears the hat.

- He does wear it, however, in stories set in a future timeline.
In Bleach, Kisuke Urahara's stripy bucket hat has gotten quite a lot of respect from fans, as evidenced by this avatar
- Also, Kenpachi Zaraki's bells, Shunsui Kyoraku's straw hat (and jeweled hairpins), and Byakuya Kuchiki's head... shingle... thingy.

In one episode of Digimon Adventure 02 Takeru "TK" Takaishi's signature hat becomes an indicator of his state of mind when he crumples it and throws it to the ground in anger — disturbing Iori/Cody who, prior to that moment, saw Takeru as a Cheerful Child — just before he storms off on his own and physically attacks the Digimon Kaiser/Emperor. Later, once his anger had abated and his usual affable persona had been mostly restored, a still visibly shaken Iori gives him his hat back.
- On a somewhat related note, he also takes it off toward the end of the series as a solemn gesture of respect and mourning during the death of Yukio Oikawa.
The outrageous headgear used by both heroes and villains in Violinist Of Hameln (manga and anime): Hamel's pointy, wide-brimmed feather hat is a huge plot point, even, since he hides a small horn — the only proof of his demon blood — under it. The hat's removal is usually followed by a Crowning Moment Of Awesome, a Crowning Moment Of Heartwarming, or a horrible, horrible mob scene. Raiel's hat is even more epic, but it just underlines his usual dorkery.
- And Sizer's dragon helmet is awesome. And Tron wears a very frugal crown. Even Flute's hat becomes iconic. This manga knows about nice hats, evidently.
After Code Geass's Lelouch Lamperouge crowns himself Emperor, he makes himself the nicest hat in the world. It's got a freaking winged eye on it!◊

- Look at the artbook version. It's even BETTER.◊ (Worse?)

  - Getting a definite Five Star Stories vibe from that hat.

Wannyuudou in Jigoku Shoujo has an awesome wide-brimmed hat. In the first two seasons, he's rarely seen without it — which is understandable since he's bald underneath. In the third season, Ai's helpers are usually seen at school in disguise, so the hat appears less often.

In Kodomo No Omocha, Sana's mother Misako wears increasingly elaborate hairstyles that incorporate the family's pet squirrel in some way, along with positively Rube Goldberg-style devices.

Slyly subverted in Yotsuba&!, in that Yotsuba's most awesome adventures are signaled by her putting on a hat that can be charitably described as a pudding with a brim. Ena's hat, seen occasionally, looks even more like a pudding, without a brim. Not at all nice hats.
The Millennium Earl of D Gray Man wears a different one every time he shows up; there have even been contests for fans to design more of them. It turns out they're to cover up the fact that he has horns. General Cross Marian has an epic hat as well, along with a Badass Longcoat and a mask covering half his face. You cannot find a more badass outfit anywhere.
Kobato's hat (and outfit) changes every day mysteriously (considering she has little money and no possessions) and there are hints that Kobato should never take off her hat for reasons unknown as of yet.
Ranma 1/2 has several instances of this. Shampoo has her odango covers. Multiple characters have headbands or bandanas of some kind. In fact, Ryoga wears several layers of bandanas, and will often attack with them. Ranma's pig tail is bound with the whisker of a dragon, which when boiled can produce a broth to regrow hair. Unfortunately for men who already have good hair, this will result in their hair growing until it all falls out, unless bound with said whisker.

In an issue of the Marvel GI Joe comic series, Firefly unveils his new outfit. The Joes he's facing are less than impressed.

In X-Men, Magneto's helmet tends to signify whether or not he's a villain this week; you're a lot likelier to be able to have a reasonable conversation with him if he's not wearing it.
- Plus the fact that, in the movies, it serves as a psionic shield makes this Evil, Stylish, and Practical. No wonder he's a major villain.
- There's a particularly interesting use in Excalibur v2 #11, where Magneto comes back home to Xavier after taking Scarlet Witch away from the Avengers. Charles reprimands him about wearing his helmet and Mags responds defensively, only calming down once he's taken the bucket off his head. Of course, this likely had more to do with the ridiculous amount of power he had just used, but the helmet was a good symbol.
The Juggernaut's Helmet which also keeps Charles out of his head.
- And the skull cap he wears underneath, which is also psy-proof.

- Lots of Batman villains have very nice hats: The Riddler has been known to sport a green bowler hat with a question mark, the Penguin usually wears a massive top hat, and the Joker sometimes accessorizes with a purple gambler hat◊. Niiiice.
  - Though he only wore it once and it was part of a specific tourist-themed outfit, the Joker's straw-brim hat from when he shot Barbara Gordon is also memorable.

DC's Doctor Fate has a helmet which is the source of his power; it originally contained the spirit of Nabu that possessed Fate when he wore it. If put on by an enemy, the helmet would drive them insane. Later on, the helmet also fought evil on its own, approximating a body with his gloves and cape. Although Nabu left the helmet to usher in the new Age of Magic, it still has enough magic to impart knowledge to its host and contend with those that might abuse it for their own ends.

The Cat In The Hat.
In the novel Design for Great-Day, a fancy hat wearing species is also capable of completely dominating the minds of many other creatures simultaneously... from a very long way away. They never use this tactic to defend their hats in the book.
Witches' and Wizards' hats are very important to their respective owners on the Discworld, as they let onlookers know to instinctively not screw with them. Rincewind's is a bit of a subversion, as his "Wizzard" hat is actually very shoddily put together and is falling apart. He still won't let go of it; though. ("How else would anyone know he was a wizard?") And, after he gets blown apparently irretrievably into the Dungeon Dimensions, the Librarian keeps his hat safe for him when he returns — because a wizard will always come back for his hat. He does.

- Nanny Ogg's hat is reinforced with willow, enough to protect her from falling houses.
- Granny Weatherwax considers her hat to be the definitive symbol of witchdom. She makes a new one every year. Heaven help you if you mess with it.
  - And she bestows some of her awesome on Tiffany Aching by giving her a hat of her own. Which is invisible. Of course, some of her peers insist she's not wearing a hat, but who listens to some bimbo who's never even invaded fairyland with only a frying pan and a personal army of pictsies?
- In Going Postal, Moist von Lipwig gets to wear a fairly Nice Hat as postmaster (it's gold, with wings on it). The old silk top hat he gets to wear as master of the Royal Mint in Making Money isn't nearly as nice, but is improved considerably by the application of a coating of gold sprinkles.
The Sorting Hat from the Harry Potter books. Not to mention Luna's lion hat.
Jarlaxle, of R.A. Salvatore's Drizzt series, is famous for several things — the most immediately noticeable his wearing of an "outrageous plumed hat" — it is, effectively, the closest thing one can come to a pimp hat without actually being a pimp (though he may have been one at some point; who can tell with Jarlaxle?). Typically, said hat is loaded with useful magics.
- Bruenor has a nice hat of his own, sort of — his distinctive helm with one broken horn.
In The Man of La Mancha, Don Quixote mistakes a barber's shaving basin for the Golden Helmet of Mambrino. Hilarity Ensues.

When the hat is passed on to one of the titular Boys, namely Fat Charlie Nancy, and he proves capable of wearing it just right, it clearly demonstrates how he's mastered the divine powers that comes with his origin. Especially since his brother, Spider, who's otherwise been awesome at EVERYTHING, has to admit that it doesn't look good on him.
Let's not forget the classics: the Mad Hatter in Alice In Wonderland wears an impressive top hat. He's probably borrowing it from his store, as it's labeled "10/6", representing a price of ten shillings and sixpence.

It even has its own dedicated spotlight on it during meetings.
Captain Aubrey's chelengk-adorned Number One Scraper.
Holden was already sitting at his old shipmate's table, one hand holding a glass of wine, the other stretched out, pointing at a singularly magnificent diamond spray in Jack Aubrey's hat. "What, what is that?" he cried.
"It is a chelengk," said Jack with some complacency. "Ain't I elegant?"
"Wind it up again. Wind it up for him," said his friends, and the Captain set his hat, his best, gold-laced, number one full-dress scraper, on the table: the splendid bauble — two close-packed lines of small diamonds, each topped by a respectable stone and each four or five inches long — had a round, diamond-studded base; this he twisted anti-clockwise for several turns, and as he put on his hat again the chelengk sprang into motion, the round turning with a gentle whirr and the sprays quivering with a life of their own, so that Captain Aubrey sat in a small private coruscation, a confidential prismatic firework display, astonishingly brilliant in the sun.
"Where, where did he get it?" cried Holden, turning to the others, as though Captain Aubrey might not be addressed while the chelengk blazed and trembled.
Go Dog Go contains an entire Nice Hat subplot, with two dogs meeting several times over the course of the book and one asking the other if he likes her hat, eventually leading to an extravagant headpiece.

  Mal: That's a mighty fine gun. Gun like that, boy must be your best shooter.
  Patience: We call him Two-Fry. He always makes it quick and clean.
  Mal: Two-Fry. Nice hat.
  (Jayne's sniper shot puts an entry hole in Two-Fry's hat, and his head)
- And even Mal aspires to Nice hat-dom. "And I'd like to be king of all Londinium and wear a shiny hat."
- Aaaand just one more example: "I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you."

Frank from 30 Rock has a collection of humorous trucker hats, a variation on the Fun T Shirt.

Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation has a nice hat. He goes so far as to mention it in his bio ("a sweet hat and a chip on his shoulder") and draw it on his crude sprite in his reviews.
- It's rather unfortunate that he didn't actually wear it the first time he appeared in live-action video, but he has some photos from his visit to Valve, and the next live-action segment featured Yahtzee wearing the hat instead of his microphone headset, communicating entirely in mime. And he says he hates the fans!
  - As a matter of fact, Trilby, from his adventure game series, the Chzo Mythos, wears the same hat. That's why he's named Trilby - that's what the hat is.
- In his review of Metal Gear Solid 4, the sprite's brain pops out at one point... and has a miniature version of the nice hat on it.
Since it originated as an Avatar based forum, Gaia Online has lots of nice hats. Some with eyes, some with teeth, some that are in the shape of rude gestures.

The hats are so iconic, that one of them actually has an enemy based off of in in the MMO.
- In the realm of NP Cs, the king of Nice Hats is Ian, with his iconic feathered fedora hat. His cat even wears one for a while. After being outed as a vampire (don't ask) and going back to his natural hair color, he ditched the hat. You can craft a replica of it though.

Murlynd's Hat. In the Greyhawk D&D setting, Murlynd of The Company of Seven's leather chapeaux can have near any non-magical object be pulled out of it, not to mention granting a degree of protection. He also had revolvers and a whip, making him probably the most badass wizard/paladin in existance. But the hat man...the hat.
The Commissars of the Imperium from Warhammer 40000. They aren't nice to anyone, least of all their own troops, but the hats are pretty cool.

  - Or, better yet, be several planets away from any actual fighting.
- In Dawn Of War: Dark Crusade, while assaulting the Imperial Guard stronghold with the Orks, Warboss Gorgutz will lament the fact that the Commissar's hat gets blown away with his head, because he wanted it.

- Kharn is the new Commissar now!
- And don't forget Aun Va, also known as "Tau Pope."
The Chaos Dwarves in Warhammer apparently had hats whose height reflected the wearer's status. The superstructure of their warships also tended to look like giant versions of their hats.

Munchkin has several, such as the Bad Ass Bandanna, the Helm of Peripheral Vision, the Horny Helmet, and the Helm of Courage (which is on backwards).

The Dynasty Warriors game series features a number of memorably bizarre hats taken from the Three Kingdoms era of China, most notably the Propeller Hat, which is Truth In Television.
- Lu Xun's hat is particularly bizarre, up until the character design changes in the 6thgame. Fans have often taken the liberty of making fun of his hat in fanfiction.
- Sun Quan's Propeller Hat looks like a thin piece of cardboard stuck to a sardine tin strapped to his head. Sun Quan wears a particular ostentatious version due to naming himself the King of Wu.
- Sima Yi's headgear gets crazier with each installment. It's anyone's guess what he hides under the thing.
- Lu Bu, the period's biggest badass, makes his presence known with a tiny cap sporting two enormous feathers that reach down to his feet. Only a real man could pull that off. In Peking theater, feathers denote a battle role.

Kessen II also takes place during the Three Kingdoms period and features some pretty redonkulous hats. Of particular note is Zhang Liao's antler helmet and Sun Quan's eagle hat.

There's Date Masamune's crescent helmet, Honda Tadakatsu's deer antler helmet, and Naoe Kanetsugu's helmet which is engraved with the kanji of "love." Mitsunari's ridiculous hat looks like he turned a sheepdog into a hat. Tokugawa Ieyasu's crazy tall hat, provoking Takeda Shingen to make the remark, "Ieyasu has two things that exceed his own worth, that warrior, Tadakatsu, and that ridiculous hat of his." Also Azai Nagamasa's helmet/hat.
Super Mario 64 has several nice hats, including the Wing Cap to fly, the Vanish Cap that makes Mario invisible and the Metal Cap that makes him become metallic. Also when an enemy takes off Mario's own hat in a desert level, he takes damage from the heat. Noticeably, in any level, being hit by an enemy while hatless will make you take one Hit Point more damage than you would with the hat. Apparently Mario's hat projects its own forcefield.
- In the remake of this game for the DS, picking up a playable character's hat (Mario, Luigi, or Wario) will turn you into that character. If you started the level as one of these characters and lose your original hat, hitting a Power Flower block will unleash an angry Bob-omb rather than the helpful flower.
- In Super Mario Sunshine, Mario's health slowly drains if an enemy steals his hat. Apparently the stress of losing his hat weakens him, although, given that he's in the tropics, this is kinda understandable. Sunburns hurt!
Lechku and Nechku in Okami pull random objects out of their hats as attacks. Waka also has a pretty bitchin' hat which never comes off until he thoroughly gets his ass whooped by Yami.
- How can you mention Okami and leave out the fact that Orochi has eight giant, brightly colored Nice Hats that denote his current weakness? How?
I-No in Guilty Gear has a living hat that looks like the Sorting Hat's Evil Twin.
- Johnny and May naturally have some pretty sweet hats, too, being pirates. Johnny's is even a possible homage to Johnny Cash.

- When he absorbs a power in the Super Smash Bros series, he usually adopts his victim's headgear as well. Mario's cap, Samus's helmet, Sonic's quills, even Snake's headband (and goatee). VG Cats' Scott shares his rendition. (The top half are real, the rest are just cool.)
The classic Red Mage hat from the Final Fantasy franchise. Widely known as the "Pimp Hat" to players of Final Fantasy XI.
- In 8-Bit Theater, Red Mage's hat is a common victim of Black Mage's anger (it's even on his "death list").
  - Despite this, when Red Mage was dead/incapacitated Black Mage started wearing his hat on top of his own.
  - Presumably as a trophy. Of course, Red Mage (on fire) is a nice hat...
In Final Fantasy XI the NPC Maat tests your fighting ability in your job to advance from 70 to 75. Beating Maat in all fifteen of the original and advanced jobs (To A and Wot G not included) nets the player a special scene with Maat's story and the reward of his iconic beret. A challenge less than .5% of all 500k+ players have completed.
All of the caster classes of Final Fantasy Tactics (save the Calculators) have a Nice Hat: Black Mages have a Robe And Wizard Hat, White Mages are In The Hood, Time Mages have a pointy pope-esque hat, and Summoners have positively Freudian headbands; furthermore, the Mediator's hat looks like a pillow, and the Lancers have some pretty sweet helmets evokative of dragon's heads.
Kain Highwind's dragon helmet in Final Fantasy IV is goddamn awesome.
In Metal Gear Solid 3, Ocelot is rather fond of his hat. During his duel with Naked Snake, Snake's allies actually suggest shooting off Ocelot's hat as a tactic.
- Though it does not look very impressive, Naked Snakes bandana is still an impressive piece of headgear. Shortly after the beginning, on a covert operation within enemy territory, his Mother Mentor, Blood Sister, and best friend Boss betrays Snake and joins the Big Bad, who orders her to kill him. After having the crap beaten out of him, she throws him from a bridge into the river below and in a last desperate try to catch himself, his hand only gets a hold on her bandana. He narrowly survives and returns with the mission to stop the Big Bad and kill her, wearking the very same bandana...
Razputin's aviator cap (and requisite goggles) in Psychonauts.
Link's elfy cap in The Legend Of Zelda series.
- It's so cool, that it even got a major role in Minish Cap, where it talked and had magical powers.
- The hat and his love of it became a Running Gag in at least one fanfic, the highly recommended Legend of Zelda: The Return.
- Of course, there's always someone to take it to extremes...
There's not a scene in Call Of Duty featuring Captain Price without him wearing his swanky red beret. Even in Call Of Duty 2, where he's never in the Paras...
- It's a black beret in Call Of Duty 2, which is correct as he's in an Armoured Division.
- His Identical Grandson in Call Of Duty 4 has a different (but still pretty nice) hat.
- Sgt. Reznov's red star-adorned ushanka from World At War is rather nice, too.

Touhou is infamous for giving many of its characters silly hats. The number of characters without head ornaments can be counted on one hand.
- This has led to a recurring joke in the fandom that programmer and designer ZUN is a "hat fetishist."
  - In one of his interviews, he is seen wearing what is clearly◊ a Nice Hat.
- Even in Touhou, however, where frilly hats are the norm, Shikieiki's hat stands out as a particularly nice hat. She is the Judge of Life and Death, though, so maybe that's ceremonial garb.
  - It's based on the traditional garb of the Great King Enma, seen here◊ and here◊.
- Suwako's eye-hat. Fandom tends to give it a mind of its own, with theories ranging from The Man Behind The Man to a parasited body.
- Not to mention Keine's lunchbox/pagoda hat, which is constantly speculated upon in fanworks.
You can equip hats in The World Ends With You, and you eventually get Minamimoto's cap as an item. It gives you more stat boosts than most good items do in one stat, in all three stats.
In Soul Calibur IV, Talim gets her own Nice Hat as part of her costume's redesign for the game.
- The Character Creation and customization modes have a bunch of them, so you can give them to just about anybody.
The obscure game Animamundi: Dark Alchemist - the main character has an expy of Vampire Hunter D's hat, with his own little flourish. It's still a nice hat.

Luso in Final Fantasy Tactics A 2 has a nice pink mushroom-looking cap.

  - The sequal suggests there may be good reason for it - one demon negotiation branch suggests he's covering something important up.
Bishop Sarasai from the Suikoden series wore a stunning example that was almost bigger than he was. Many tears were shed when he abandoned it for the third installment.
- In the same game, Yuber wore a rather stylish hat himself. Whether this makes up for the loss of Sasarai's is up for debate.
A recently-added quest to World Of Warcraft involves meeting up with an old guy with a nice sombrero hat. Turns out that this old man used to be quite the fighter back in the day, and many would challenge him to a fight for said hat. Naturally, you can go back in time, find the younger version of the man, and beat him up in order to receive the hat as a reward (as well as another hat in the Heroic version of the dungeon, which summons the ghost of the man's coyote companion whom you killed to beat him). The quest name? Nice Hat...
- There are also other hats which are worn just for their looks, including a pirate hat (which summons a matching parrot) that is incredibly hard to obtain. Another special case is a quest reward hat that you can reach into for a random beverage.
- High Inquisitor Whitemane's chapeau is also quite remarkable.
GMs in Maple Story have a Nice Hat as part of their uniform. Said hat also gives them a godly stat boost.
Dizzy of Gears Of War 2 has a cowboy hat◊, which can actually come off in multiplayer. Damn shame.
Ragnarok Online' has an awesome variety of Nice ~~Hats~~ Headgears, and the players are obsessed with getting the nicer ones. Since they are the only noticeable change to player sprites, the obsession is pretty much justified.

In Tales Of Vesperia you can accessorize some of your party members with very Nice Hats, and they even show up in cutscenes.
In "Fat Princess" you pick your character class by putting on the appropriate hat.

In Guild Wars, the ritualist class can get an extremely nice hat◊, though it is one of the most expensive items in the game and to get it you need to enter the Bonus Levelof Hell.
Inverted somewhat in Mega Man 9, where you can spend the game's currency for the privilege of playing as Mega Man without his trademark headgear.
- However, Mega Man takes double damage when he's not wearing his helmet. Some Mega Man games have helmets of the character you are using as one up items. In Mega Man and Bass, the game over screen shows your character's helmet on the ground.
- Meanwhile, in the Megaman X series, the hero can always find additional upgrades to his helmet that has extra functionality and generally is part of a collectible series of items to unlock some sort of super awesome secret.

- Player Character's hat from R/S/E? Pah. Riley from D/P/Pt's pimp hat is WAY nicer.I WANT THAT HAT.
- Pokemon protagonists' often have really nice hats. Notably, Soul◊'s. It's large, is the most notable thing about her sprite◊, and goes well with her outfit. However, peo ple, mostly people that dislike her, due to her current status as a Replacement Scrappy (though, she technically didn't replace anyone, and may be based off the original design for a girl in the original games), note that it makes her look even more like Mario.
Fallout 3 has the Pre-war Hat, which is a spiffy fedora. Aside from looking nifty, it gives a bonus to Perception, making you shoot better. The downside is that it's rather fragile, and doesn't give much protection. But it's worth it for a killer hat. There's also the "Shady Hat" which not only increases your Perception, but your Sneaking ability as well.
- Fallout 3 has so many nice hats it's a pity the player is restricted to one at a time. Further examples include Euology Jones' Pimp Hat, a 18th Century style wig, and Abraham Lincoln's stovepipe hat, which is just made for wearing while mowing down the slavers of Paradise Falls. Or the incredibly rare and hard to find Chinese Commando Hat, wear with a Duster of any kind and you can pretend to be a Soviet conscript!

Shiren's straw flat-topped kasa that usually obscures the top half of his face except for a small tear on one side that lets us see his left eye while he's wearing it. Apparently, it is magical enough to allow Shiren to avoid the effects of a kill-everything-in-the-room scroll by hiding completely inside it.
Terry Bogard is almost always seen wearing an ordinary (but still rather nice) baseball cap. It never leaves his head until a fight ends.
- In the case of his Fatal Fury appearance, The Anime Of The Game upgraded his cap to include a metal plate for no discernable reason at all. Still looks Badass, though.
  - Probably had the brim blown off too much with all those ki attacks flying around.
Kung Lao from Mortal Kombat is best known for his wide, blade-rimmed hat which he throws as a projectile and utilizes in most of his fatalities, including the classic in MK II where he slices an opponent in half vertically.
Most gun kills in Total Overdose cause the victim's hat to hover in the air briefly. Moving in to position your head beneath it at that time gives a 'Hat Catch' bonus plus extra points per kill while wearing it. There's also the 'Sombrero of Death', a Day-of-the-Dead costumed zombie in a sombrero, who packs a grenade launcher to fight for you.
Another case of a hat hurting you... Caffeine Nicotine out of Samurai Shodown 2 wears a nice-sized one. When armed, he swings it as his weak slash/punch. When unarmed, he just swings it for all side moves. And if he does a dive roll, the hat itself is what's seen as rolling along its brim.
The Pilot's Helmet in Ratchet And Clank is intended simply as a plot Mac Guffin letting you use certain aircraft. It is, however, possible to equip it on dry land. It makes Ratchet stop looking like a weasel and start looking like a hero.
Kingdom Of Loathing has a lot of nice hats, but the nicest one of them all is arguably the Plexiglass pith helmet. As the description states, it is shiny, indestructible, and undeniably badass. Not to mention the enchantments it carries - even going only by usefulness, disregarding formerly mentioned aspects of niceness, it IS one of the nicest hats around.
Romancing Sa Ga: Minstrel Song features a lot of nice hats as part of The Remake giving the whole cast a makeover. Examples include Aisha's odd hair-wrappish thing (complete with twin braids hanging out the back in a way that leaves you wondering how she arranged it like that in the first place), Sif's Horny Vikings-invoking literal skull-cap, Hawke's puffy Pirate hat, and Diana's teensy crown that doubles at invoking Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs.

The Spy from Team Fortress 2 can now get a stylish fedora as an unlockable item, which only gets knocked off his head in the event of his death.
- There's also the Sniper's crocodile-dundee hat, and the Soldier's helmet with cigarettes and an ace strapped on. The best is the Engineer's hardhat - already so good that the writer of Nerf Now claimed that some people play the class just for the hat, and that the unlockable version is the addition of a mining light.

- A throw- er, blowaway character in the comic is listed in the cast page only as "The Idiot in an Awesome Hat".
  - The Idiot is the guy with the radio tuner hat. Lord Selnikov's hat is pretty epic too, though.
- Gilgamesh's hat takes the cake, though. Easily. It has wings, spikes, tubes, his name in big letters with "Schmott Guy!" underneath and is on fire. Possibly the Nicest Hat ever.
  - It even has a name, according to the cast page: Gil's Fabulous Hat. And someone whose job it is to take care of it.
  - TA-DAH!◊
- All of this is somewhat Truth In Television, since the Jägers (and the GG Verse in general) have heavily exaggerated elements of Prussia in their role and backstory: Prussia, the kingdom that brought you this.

  - Even the eagle on top of that hat is wearing a hat.

There was even a Nodwick strip where Phil's bowler somehow wound up in the dimension of the characters and gave Dumb Muscle Yeagar epic powers.

The Pope.
- Truth In Television: His Holiness has quite a few Nice Hats, from the modest zuchetto skullcap, to the more ornate mitre, to the impossibly awesome Papal Tiara.
  - The Papal Tiara, in fact, has apparently been deemed too awesome for a mere human, even one chosen as God's Earthly representative. It's not been worn in the last 40 years.
- Most of the Catholic hierarchy in some form has a cool hat they wear, with the bishops, archbishops, and cardinals all having their own style of hat. This tropper knew a friend who had an appreciation for the Catholic Church only for their "hat system."

Dr. Gunther von Hagens is rarely seen without his black fedora, and has worn it while performing public dissections.
In North America, the wearing of men's hats as not only fashion but standard business and formal attire, began to fade during the early 1960s. One of the hallmark moments often cited for this decline in the various hats' popularity is the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy in January of 1961. Though Kennedy wore a full formal morning suit, including top hat, to his inauguration speech, he was most famously seen on television without a hat while delivering his speech. American men's fashion began to become more relaxed as the 1960s went on and the hat, be it fedora or trilby, boater or bowler, faded out of fashion to be replaced with naught but the baseball cap as informal attire. Though the actual impact of a new, young, and fashionable President addressing the public sans-hat (an inversion of The Red Stapler) has been debated, the popularity of the men's hat has not returned in North America or elsewhere in the Western world.
- The hats for women, most prevalently in the South, could get pretty wild and wacky, particularly in late 19th and 20th centuries (this tradition is kept alive to this day by some, though, as noted below). In the early days of movie theaters, one common slide you’d see where today you’d see “don’t smoke, don’t talk, turn cell phones off, throw trash in the receptacles, fire exits are at the sides”, they’d have “Ladies, kindly remove your hats”, maybe even accompanied by a cartoon of some poor sod’s view being obstructed by, say, a two-foot-tall pineapple-wielding monster. (As an aside, another common slide in that era would also remind people “Don’t Spit on the Floor — Remember the Johnstown Flood.”).
Banana Republic "El Presidente" dictators tend to sport distinctive headgear, often (but not always) as part of a garishly decorated military uniform when showing up for formal events.
