The Vintage Merryweather is a community-created headwear item for the Pyro and was chosen by Valve to be released with the second wave of community-contributed content due to its outstanding quality. It is modelled after a style of fireman's helmet used from the 19th century.
The Vintage Merryweather is a paintable hat.
Trivia
- The Merryweather was originally submitted as the Vintage Pyrolean and is labeled "pyrolean" in the game files, as a reference to the Vintage Tyrolean.
- The hat was originally going to be all gold, but it was changed due to the fact that it was too plain and bright.[1] With the addition of paint cans, you can indeed have an all-gold Merryweather.
- This is the second Pyro hat to be styled after a firefighter's helmet.
- When this item is painted, the hat retains its gold bands, and the bulk of the hat (the black area) is replaced.
- Vintage Merryweathers that were created prior to the Polycount Update now have the name "Vintage Vintage Merryweather."
- Merryweather helmets were originally produced by the Merryweather company, a 19th-century British manufacturer of firefighting equipment.
