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.
- 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 sing-song, in an anaphoric 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 oversized helmet.
- Unlike the rest of the Soldier's hats, this hat is the only hat not associated with warfare of some type. The Stainless Steel Pot suggests pretend warfare, such as "playing soldier", but warfare nonetheless.
