The Whiskered Gentleman is a community-created Miscellaneous 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 appears as a monocle, fake mustache and goatee that the Pyro has taped onto its mask.

Trivia

• The Whiskered Gentleman was originally a hat on release. Its item slot was changed to Miscellaneous the next day to suit combinations with hats.

• The hat's addition is likely an attempt by Valve to further confuse the player over the Pyro's gender as it portrays the character to be male. This conflicts with him/her possibly being the owner of the flowery purse in the spawn room's locker and his/her overtly feminine humiliation stance.

• As the description suggests, the Whiskered Gentleman is also Fire retardant.

• The item description was written by JJ10DMAN.
