Trivia
- The Gatsby, also known as the Lundberg Stetson, was very popular in Europe and North America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is commonly associated with paper boys, and sometimes wealthy golfers. It is traditionally a men's cap, but it has become popular with affluent women and fashion houses in the 2000s.
- Though it's named gatsby, the hat bears stronger resemblance to an Ascot cap, even though the reference during development is, in fact, a German Gatsby.
- Some players humorously refer to this hat as the "Liver hat" or "Tumor hat", owing to its ambiguous shape and appearance in the loadout menu.
- The hat description was written by Esquilax. It also makes a reference to the hat's unusual, simplistic shape.
- The scout wears a "Ye Olde Baker Boy" cap which is somewhat similar to the Gatsby, yet bears more resemblance to the News-boy hats worn by both men and women in the late 1900s and the 2000s, whereas the Gatsby is very much a referance to the Medic's old european heritage.
- Prior to the Mann-Conomy update, the Gatsby was the rarest hat in game, with a total only about 2% of players having the hat.
