Less publicly known than the license to kill, being a Spy also comes with a vast supply of fashionably correct hats. You certainly won't look like a very impressive Spy without this beauty, so don't go spewing one-liners over defeated enemies without it.
Détective Noir publicity blurb

The Détective Noir is a community-created cosmetic item for the Spy. It is a team-colored stereotypical 1930s detective hat adorned with a beige, brown and black diagonally striped sash.

This item was originally created in the Fancy vs. Nasty Update and since has been officially added to the game.
