Trivia
- The hat is an obvious reference to the children's fictional book character Template:W, created by American children book author and cartoonist Template:W.
- Being based on the Cat in the Hat, a fairly wacky character, the Dr's Dapper Topper is likely a reference to the Soldier's wacky/insane personality.
- The "Dr" in the item name also refers to "Dr. Seuss", which is one of the pen names of Theodor Seuss Geisel. The entire name "Dr's Dapper Topper" is likely a homage to Geisel's famous writing style, which described a person or thing in an anaphoric--or sing-song--way.
- The name is similar to the name chosen by Propaganda Contest winner J.Axer for his unique Towering Pillar of Hats, which has the name 'J.Axer's Dapper Topper'.
- This is one of the few Soldier hats that allow players to see his eyes, normally obstructed by his over-sized helmet.
- This hat is jiggleboned so the entire hat moves as the Soldier moves.
- Unlike the rest of the Soldier's hats, this hat is the only hat not associated with a military background or warfare of some type. However, the real-life Dr. Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel, fought in World War II. More specifically, he worked in the U.S. Army's animation department, creating propaganda.
