Dr's Dapper Topper is an unlockable headwear item for the Soldier. It is a tall, wide-brimmed top hat with alternating white and red stripes, much like the one the eponymous Cat in the Hat wears in the famous children's book by Template:W, the pen name of Theodor Seuss Geisel.
Every aspect of the hat is likely to be composed of references to Dr. Seuss; the weird, comedic style of the hat is likely a reference to the wacky, uncontrollable personality of the Soldier (not unlike that of Dr. Seuss' writing,) and the hat's name suits Geisel's famous writing style, describing a person or entity in an anaphoric or sing-song manner.[來源請求]
Unlike most of the Soldier's hats, the Dr's Dapper Topper reveals the Soldier's eyes, normally obstructed by his oversize helmets.

Trivia
- The name is similar to the name chosen by Propaganda Contest winner J.Axer for his unique Towering Pillar of Hats, which has the name 'J.Axer's Dapper Topper'.[1]
- The mesh used for the hat (named the "Uncle Sammy") was originally created by Polycount forum member oobersli,[2] but was slightly modified and re-skinned completely in the process.
- In keeping with the Soldier's association with World War II, Theodor Seuss Geisel also illustrated hundreds of anti-Template:W political cartoons between 1941 and 1943. He started drawing political cartoons for newspapers.[3] In 1942 though, he joined the United States Air Forces' Animation Dept as a commander, writing several films relating to propaganda and soldier training.
