The Vintage Merryweather is a community-created headwear 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 is modelled after a style of fireman's helmet commonly used by British fire brigades from the Victorian era.
Trivia
- This is the second hat that doesn't reference the Pyro's apparent lack of sanity, the first being the Brigade Helm. Perhaps coincidentally, they're both inspired by firemen.
- Merryweather helmets were used in the mid- to late-1800's in British fire brigades and were made of metal or plastic.
- The Merryweather was originally submitted as the Vintage Pyrolean and is labeled "pyrolean" in the game files, as a reference to the Vintage Tyrolean.
- The whole hat was originally going to be all gold, but it was changed due to the fact that it was too plain and bright.[1]
Humorously, If you owned a Vintage Merryweather prior to the Polycount Update, it will be named a "Vintage Vintage Merryweather".
