Trivia

• The hat is a possible reference to Jayne, the big, gun-toting mercenary in Joss Whedon's series, Firefly, and the subsequent movie, Serenity. Like the Heavy, Jayne personifies everything it means to be a "tough guy," and has even given a name to his favorite gun, Vera. Also like the Heavy, Jayne acquires a knitted cap of much the same style, of which he is irrepressibly proud.
• The item description also references Firefly. When Jayne asks about the impression of his own cap, crew member, Wash, comments, "A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything," in which Jayne replies, "Damn, Straight!"
• This pom-pom topped style of toque is sometimes referred to as a sherpa.
• This hat is actually a tuque, which is a general name for a knitted cap used by Canadians. A toque is a hat with a narrow brim or no brim at all, like a cook's hat.
