Miscellaneous items, commonly abbreviated as misc. items, are wearable items with their own 'Misc' section in the loadout screen, though they count as headgear for crafting purposes. Like most hats, they have no effect on gameplay and exist for cosmetic purposes only. As they occupy their own equipment slot, they can be worn in conjunction with hats. Misc. items are either unlocked through achieving certain requirements or dropped during in-game playtime.
Valve announced in the June 30, 2011 blog post that there would soon be more than one misc. slot, and that it would be possible to wear multiple misc. items. The second slot went live in the beta on September 21, 2011 Patch (Beta), and in the main game on October 13, 2011 Patch.
List
Crafting
Because most misc. items are achievement linked or promotional items, they are generally incompatible with the crafting system. Most of them cannot be crafted into other items, or crafted themselves from other items. The exceptions are misc. items that can be found in-game through the item drop system, which are treated exactly the same as headgear. As such, they can be crafted in any blueprint that requires headgear to function. These are the current misc. items that function as headgear, in order of their addition to the game:

Bugs
- If a player is wearing a painted miscellaneous item and dies, the item will revert to its original color, or RED if painted with a team color on the ragdoll.
Unused content
- A crafting recipe exists for smelting three Miscellaneous items into Scrap Metal in the game files. This recipe is currently disabled in-game.
- This was due to the fact that the Camera Beard was the first craftable miscellaneous item, and when it was first moved from the hat slot to misc, they began dropping at the same rate as weapons. This was patched later, but the recipe remains in game.
