The Vintage Merryweather is a community-created headwear item for the Pyro and was chosen by Valve to be released with the second wave of community-contributed content due to its outstanding quality. It is modelled after a style of fireman's helmet commonly used by British fire brigades from the Victorian era.
The Vintage Merryweather is a paintable hat.
