The Hustler’s Hallmark, or Pimp hat, as it is often referred to, is a community-created headwear item for the Demoman and was chosen by Valve to be released with the first wave of community-contributed content due to its outstanding quality. It appears as a wide-rimmed hat with a feather sticking out of the side, held by a flannel band.

Trivia
- In keeping with the Demoman’s other Blaxploitation themed hat, the Hallmark bears a strong resemblance to stereotypical pimp hats.
- It could be said that the Hallmark has also been influenced by Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez’s (Sean Connery) Hat from the Film Highlander. This would make sense as one the Demoman’s weapon unlocks is called the Eyelander and both hats look similar, even down to the stripe that is on both hats.
- This hat makes Demoman similiar to the dark elf Jarlaxle, who either had black skin, worn eyeband and the hat with a feather.
