Dr's Dapper Topper is an unlockable headwear item for the Soldier. It is a tall, wide-brimmed top hat with alternating white and red stripes, much like the one the eponymous Cat in the Hat wears in Template:W' famous children's book.
Every aspect of the hat is likely to be composed of Dr. Seuss references; the weird, comedic style of the hat a likely reference to the wacky, uncontrollable personality of the Soldier (not unlike that of Dr. Seuss' writing), the name suits Geisel's famous writing style, which describes a person or entity in an anaphoric or sing-song manner.[citation needed]
Unlike most of the Soldier's hats, the Dr's Dapper Topper reveals the Soldier's eyes, normally obstructed by his oversize helmets.
