The Soldier

The Stainless Pot is a headwear item for the Soldier. It is a slightly dented stainless-steel saucepan, which the Soldier wears on his head as an improvised helmet with its wooden handle to his left.

The hat description was written by cypherx82 for the Hat Describing Contest. It was slightly edited by Valve.
