Trivia
- The quiff and sunglasses look was popularized by Elvis Presley, after whom the item is named, and the Teddy Boy movement of the 1950s.
- Concept art exists showing the Heavy with hair, though it's a different style than the Hound Dog.
- Progg, creator of this item, has also created and submitted the winning The Gas Man pack for the Polycount Pack contest.
- The sunglasses are for cosmetic effect only, and do not cause a darkening of the player's screen.
- Using the Australium Gold Paint Can on this hat changes the hair color from black to blonde. Combined with the shades, this makes the Heavy look similar to the TV cartoon character, Johnny Bravo. Many community members now affectionately refer to this version as "Johnny Bravo Heavy". Some people, however, think it makes the Heavy look more like Duke Nukem, and accordingly nickname him "Duke Nukem Heavy".
- The hat description was written by Silentman
