The Rimmed Raincatcher is a community-created headwear item for the Demoman. It has a similar shape to the Tippler's Tricorne, except the brims are larger, have a golden strip at their rim, and are team-colored on the outside. The hat was added in the October 6, 2010 Patch.

Trivia
- The original name for this hat was "Traditional Drinking Hat" before Valve renamed it.
- With the Polycount update's release, this hat was mistakenly labelled as the Tippler's Tricorne, causing the Tippler's Tricorne to utilize the Rimmed Raincatcher's team coloured textures, whilst using the Tricorne model mesh. Due to this, any player that managed to find the Raincatcher from a hat drop, or crafting result, would have an "Unknown Item" displayed in one of the on-line backpack viewers. This was shortly resolved after the October 6, 2010 Patch patch was released, separating the Rimmed Raincatcher from the Tricorne after they were introduced as separate hats, each with their own model meshes and textures.
- Although this hat is commonly worn by Scottish folks during celebrations that involve drinking alcohol, it is also commonly known to build up and redirect rain water from the wearer's face (as the name suggests).
