Trivia
- The deerstalker is a hat generally worn for stalking deer, as its name implies. However, it's most commonly associated with fictional English private detective Sherlock Holmes, who is usually depicted as wearing one (although he was never officially described as doing so).
- Private Eye is slang for Private Investigator. The term was made popular in detective movies.
- The Private Eye was originally designed for the Demoman and the name "Private Eye" was in reference to his one good eye.
