Trivia
- Merryweather helmets were originally produced by the Merryweather company, a 19th-century British manufacturer of firefighting equipment. They were replaced by modern helmets because, since they were made of conductive metal, posed a safety hazard if a live wire from a burning house's electrical system touched it.
- The Merryweather was originally submitted as the "Vintage Pyrolean" (most likely a play on the Vintage Tyrolean's name) and is labeled "pyrolean" in the game files.
- The initial design had the Vintage Merryweather entirely gold, but the author decided to change this due to it appearing too plain and bright.[1]
- The Vintage form of this hat is named the "Vintage Vintage Merryweather".
