Towering Pillar of Hats

“

Tarnish notte the majesty of my TOWER of HATS. — The Gentle Manne of Leisure

”

The Towering Pillar of Hats is a headwear item available to all classes. It appears as stack of 3 hats: A grey bowler, similar to the Spy's Backbiter's Billycock, a black tophat, similar to the Demoman's Scotsman's Stove Pipe and a boater with a black ribbon, very vaguely similar to the Sniper's Professional's Panama.

The hat description was written by Valve, but was also submitted (with an attribution [1]) as an entry during the Hat Describing Contest.

Trivia

• This hat is likely a reference to the hidden Gentle Manne of Leisure page on the Classless Update.
• John "Tower of Hats" Booth, the assassin of president Abraham Lincoln, did not wear a tower of hats similar to this. He wore more hats in a dome or pile fashion.
• 'J.Axer's Dapper Topper', the item obtained from coming first in the Propaganda Contest, has an orange ribbon with the number '1' pinned to the tophat.
