Trivia
- The shako was a common part of regimental uniforms from the late 18th century, and is still worn as part of certain parade uniforms and marching bands. It resembles a stereotypical "toy soldier" hat.
- Strange enough, this hat along with Bombing Run and Chieftan's Challenge look similar to other hats submitted in the Polycount Contest, though some of the hats were for other classes.
- The Stout Shako looks similar to the Wiki Cap, being only taller, having straps and gold badges and lacking the Team Fortress logo.
- The Stout Shako bears a passing resemblance to a kepi, a hat associated with the French Foreign Legion.
