The Modest Pile of Hat is a headwear item for all classes. It appears as a single gray bowler hat, similar to the Spy's Backbiter's Billycock. However, the Modest Pile of Hat is not team-colored, has a thicker rim than the Billycock, and the colors of the two hatbands are visibly different.

The hat description was written by Fredrik1ST for the Hat Describing Contest and was slightly edited by Valve.

Update history

January 28, 2010 Patch

  • Fixed the Modest Pile of Hat being included in the crafting of class-specific hats using class tokens.

Trivia

  • This hat is likely a reference to the hidden Gentle Manne of Leisure page on the Classless Update.
  • Uncle Sam, the item obtained from coming in third place in the Propaganda Contest, has an orange ribbon with the number '3' pinned to the bowler.
    • In addition, a normal, level 44 Modest Pile of Hat was also given to each runner-up in the Propaganda Contest.Due to the fact that both the *Rebuild headgear and Fabricate headgear blueprints which can craft this hat yield random results, there is no determined and guaranteed way to craft and form the Modest pile of hat. Additionally this makes the Modest pile of hat, the Noble amassment of hats and the Towering pillar of hats slightly rarer in value than the normal class specific hats.
  • This hat is likely a reference to the hidden Gentle Manne of Leisure page on the Classless Update.
  • 'Uncle Sam', the item obtained from coming third in the Propaganda Contest, has an orange ribbon with the number '3' pinned to the fabric.
  • Info on the Uncle Sam hat is here
  • A non-ribboned, level 44 Modest pile of hat was also given to each runner-up in the Propaganda Contest. Three examples of this are metalpiss, B0nd07 and Wofiel.
  • For a small period of time from its release, the Modest Pile of Hat along with 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.
  • The Modest Pile of Hat is differentiated from the Spy's Backbiter's Billycock by not being team colored, having a visibly different colored hatband and having a thicker rim than the billycock.
  • Since the inception of the in-game Mann Co. store, the Modest Pile of Hat is available for purchase through one's Steam Wallet. This, however, renders the item with the inability to be used for crafting nor trading.
  • Despite the fact that it is based off of the Spy's Backbiter's Billycock, the Modest Pile of Hat is unable to be painted.
