it's a good model, and has a good texture but uh really had to go with the same look as the original hat? its fine but the shape of the over all hat could be some thing else. perhaps a different style shape for the hat ? not sure if valve would like that but hey you have to try stuff.

Hi, I appreciate your ideas, but my goal was to make a nicer variant of the original. At this point if I were to remake the hat like that, I probably would release a new one. Thank you for your input though!
