The Top Notch is a one-of-a-kind[1] cosmetic item for all classes. It is a painted cardboard box, adorned with several smaller cardboard pieces, capped by a black fedora. When worn by the Demoman, a patch covers his left eye.
The item adopts the likeness of Markus "Notch" Persson's avatar, a drawing of himself in the artistic style of Minecraft, which he created and was the lead developer on until the game's official release.[2] Valve silently released this hat in 2011, adding it to Notch's backpack.
