I don't see how it's steampunk. Maybe I'm just missing something. '''''<span style="font-size:110%; font-style:italic;">[[File:Leaderboard_class_soldier.png|x19px|link=User:Just_a_Gigolo]][[User:Just_a_Gigolo|Just a Gigolo]]</span> - ([[User talk:Just_a_Gigolo|talk]])''''' 07:04, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

:Yeah, I didn't comprehend that either. Steampunk? The only thing that reminds me vaguely of it is the bullet belt. Probably useless, but I'll keep it in case. [[File:Painted_Vintage_Merryweather_7E7E7E.png|x19px]][[User:Flamborsia|Fyahweather]] 07:18, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

::I remember seeing it on the Polycount thread, and I remember seeing cogs attached to it. The dirty brown look combined with the cogs and bullet belt is what gives it a steampunk feeling overall. At least, it does for me and I am pretty sure I'm not the only one.

::I added the following, but it was quickly removed by someone due to being "speculation", though I'm fairly certain of it all. Currently trying to contact Hideous or Pie_Tony about what they had in mind when designing the ammo belt.
 
 
 
* The bullets seen wrapped around the band of the ''Western Wear'' appear similar to the real-world 9mm caliber, or .22 LR bullet. However, .22 LR are typically used for [[Sniper Rifle|rifles]], or [[Revolver|revolvers]], while 9mm caliber bullets are made for [[Lugermorph|Luger]] and [[Pistol|Parabellum]] hand gun cartridges. 
 
[[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 11:30, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
Contacted the creator of the hat via Facepunch, asking whether or not the bullets had any real-world counterpart or base for their design and got this response back.
 
http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/f/f4/User_SilverHammer_thatsall.PNG
 
So I'm about to edit the page with something along the lines of
 
 
 
*While the creator of the hat had no particular real-life counterpart in mind while designing the bullets on the belt worn around the hat, they bear resemblance to standard 9 or 11mm pistol bullets.
 
 
 
Does that looks alright? [[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 22:03, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Errors in console relating to this hat? ==
 
 
 
Yeah, so I just received a whole lot of error spam upon connecting to my server:

==Stub?==
 
I don't think this article is a stub. I just don't think that there is really much to say about it, like the [[Magnificent Mongolian]].

== Regarding original name ==
 
 
 
So since it required a citation apparently, I went ahead and dug up my old post from when I first created the hat:
 
 
 
http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1067481-The-People-s-TF2-Emporium?p=28791201&viewfull=1#post28791201
 
 
 
In it is this image, which was used as a promo to release the mod version:

There you can also see the original description, which was later improved by Valve. --[[User:Hideous|Hideous]] 02:21, 1 July 2011 (PDT)
 
::Damn, you're alot faster than I. I've been looking for that through all the old TF2 Emporiums and couldn't find it :P [[User:404 User Not Found|404 User Not Found]] 04:51, 1 July 2011 (PDT)
 
:::To be fair, it was in my personal history of posts. --[[User:Hideous|Hideous]] 02:33, 2 July 2011 (PDT)
 
::::Please upload the file to the Wiki, put it on the article gallery-style and remove the [[citation needed]] point. c: [[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 22:11, 3 July 2011 (PDT)
