Towering Pillar of Hats
“ | Tarnish notte the majesty of my TOWER of HATS.
— The Gentle Manne of Leisure

The Towering Pillar of Hats is a headwear item available to all classes. It appears as stack of 3 hats: A grey bowler, similar to the Spy's Backbiter's Billycock, a black tophat, similar to the Demoman's Scotsman's Stove Pipe and a boater with a black ribbon, very vaguely similar to the Sniper's Professional's Panama.
The hat description was written by Valve, but was also submitted (with an attribution [1]) as an entry during the Hat Describing Contest.

Trivia
- This hat is likely a reference to the hidden Gentle Manne of Leisure page on the Classless Update.
- John "Tower of Hats" Booth, the assassin of president Abraham Lincoln, did not wear a tower of hats similar to this. He wore more hats in a dome or pile fashion.
- 'J.Axer's Dapper Topper', the item obtained from coming first in the Propaganda Contest, has an orange ribbon with the number '1' pinned to the tophat.
- The description for this hat can also be seen in the hidden Gentle Manne of Leisure page.
- For a small period of time from its release, the Modest Pile of Hat, the Noble Amassment of Hats, and the Towering Pillar of Hats could be crafted using the Fabricate Class Headgear blueprint. This was later corrected and removed by the January 28, 2010 Patch.
