I had a friend who'd been playing for a year. I got it within the first month of playing. I never even played demoman, and my computer lagged so badly that I only played to goof off.

".... um, ok." would be my response. I wanted to give it to my friend, but this was way before trading was even considered.

I was so excited about my first hat that I made a stupid comic.

The first hat I got from a drop was a Sober Stuntman, which I foolishly traded away for basically nothing.
>> No. 3967
Ghastly Gibus, but if we're talking real hats.. I think I got my first from crafting and it was a Physician's Procedure Mask (ok it's not really a hat) It made me very happy anyway.
>> No. 3968
Bloke's Bucket Hat. It made me sad. I was like "YAY I FINALLY FOUND A HAT... Oh, I don't want to wear this."

Hats make me butthurt because I never find any good ones. I still don't have a single Soldier hat despite loving so many of them. >:c
>> No. 3970
Jarate belt! I still have it now, never parting with it.

Wait, do Misc items count? Because I got earbuds the first time I played since I'm a rotten dirty mac user. Since they were the first item I ever got I never want to part with them.
>> No. 3972
First crafted hat: Demoman's Fro. Reaction: I hardly ever play demo, so meh... but I might get a decent hat for it once trading becomes available.
A few weeks later, the Mann-Conomy update came along, and I traded the now vintage fro for a vintage whiskered gentleman that I wear to this day.

First (and only) randomly dropped hat: Tough Guy's Toque. Reaction: ABOUT FREAKIN TIME I'VE BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME REGULARLY FOR HALF A YEAR AND NEVER GOT A HAT DROP. Also, I'd traded for an ushanka and named it less than half an hour before.

My first REAL hat drop was a Killer's Kabuto. I had just finished bitching to my friend how I never got anything, but SURE ENOUGH I found one of my favorite hats later on in the round. I've had it ever since.

My first hat craft was a Safe'n'Sound. So, all things considered, I've had amazing luck with my hats.

Later on I bought myself the Attendant and Whiskered Gentleman with some leftover cash on an old Visa. I also got the Mann Co Cap with it, which has replaced my Gibus.

Yup, exactly the same for my first drop. I was mad, especially since I have pretty bad hat luck sometimes and it was forever before I finally got one. Second drop was the O. Mirror for Medic, which was decidedly better.

First hat I crafted was Professional's Panama. I actually kinda love that dumb hat so yay.
>> No. 3985
Well, let's see - my first non-promo hat was the Ghastly Gibus. Quite frankly, I was more surprised that I was actually dominating someone to care about the fact that I'd just gotten a hat (I was still getting the hang of the game).

First dropped hat was the Texas Ten Gallon. I remember being HOLY SHIT SO THIS IS SO AWESOME because it was the hat I wanted the most, plus it was just the cherry on top of an already good day.

First received hat: Gibus. I already thought it was shit back then but I wore it for all the nice reskins it got. THAT WAS UNTIL VALVE DECIDED TO TURN IT INTO THAT GHASTLIER SHIT PFFFFF

First hat craft: Respectless Rubberglove. Since I love playing Engiebuddy Pyro, that was really cool.

First hat drop: Ushanka. (On Viaduct, even) Was about damn time, too! Gave it to Chi since I already heart my Tough Guy's Toque.

My first hat was an Engineers Cap

I was so happy.
>> No. 3994
My very first hat was Pyro's Beanie. I was so happy about that, since I played Pyro most and, at the time, it was my absolute favorite hat. About a half hour later, I got my then-second favorite hat, the Trophy Belt. I was basically like, "Well, I'm a shit Sniper, but now I'm a shit Sniper with an awesome hat."
>> No. 3998
Modest Pile of Hat - I was expecting a good item in the near future, as I got one of the runner up prizes from that propaganda contest, and didn't know if that was it or if I was just lucky. Turned out it was the former.
>> No. 4001
Professional Panama, a month or so after I got the game.
I remember my friend being surprised that I got a hat dropped for me so quickly, and then laughing when she found out it was the Panama.

But I suppose my second hat wasn't too bad, considering it was the Familiar Fez while the Polycount Pack was still new.

First and only crate hat was the Exquisite Rack.

Kinda funny how all my random hats are for the classes I play the least.

A Batter's Helm, which dropped for me three days after I got TF2.

first hat: engineers cap. but then someone decided remote idling was somehow WRONG

first legitimate one: gibbus or bills hat, whichever was first

first one i bought: ushanka, trophy belt and ten gallon

first one i ever recieved from a drop: got a sombrero out of crate.

so to sum it up: i still haven't recived one i didn't have to pay for
>> No. 4015
Fancy Fedora. Reaction was something the lines of, "Oh. Isn't this, uh, rare or something, lol". Confirmed for rare when 3 or 4 people replied via chat with something like, "FFFF A HAT".

Unfortunately, I was only trying TF2 out on my brother's account at the time, so I don't really have it on me anymore. (Poor Vintage Fancy Fedora, left all alone to rot...)
>> No. 4019
First hat I ever got was the Camera Beard (but I'm not sure that counts as a hat...). I was disgusted with it, and could only think, "What the FUCK am I supposed to do with this thing!?" I promptly got rid of it, and the 3 others I found soon after. Kinda regretting it now...

So a few months shy of a year of playing, I finally got enough metal to craft myself a hat. Never had a drop, everyone knows the Gibbus doesn't count. Also not counting the Halloween masks and the Horsemann's head, since those are seasonal.

Pyro's Brigade Helm.

Okay, so I'm pretty sure Bones already did a drawing exactly like this, but that was pretty much my reaction. I love my hat, and I am never taking it off.

First hat was earned during the days of idling via external program: a Brigade Helm. Sadly, it was removed along with many other items, and the dirty idlers were disbanded. I played a bit, somewhat dejected, and then I got my first legitimate drop (Not hat drop, first drop period!) after said item removals. Glengarry Bonnet. Everyone was jelly that day.

Pic related, it's Demoman fistbumping a gloveless Pyro as one hat is exchanged for another.
>> No. 4486
My first hat was the Gentlemen's Gatsby from a random drop. I thought, what luck, a lame hat, for a class I dont play. I proceeded to paint it pink and name it the Old Man Creeper Hat. And put the deception as "I got the lamest hat in the game as a drop? Im going to rock it, creeper style."

First hat: vintage respectless rubber glove.
Pic related, this was my reaction.
It's still my favorite hat, cause most other's I've gotten are for classes i don't really play.

First craft: Engineer's mining light.
Much rage was had. Crafted with Bonnk helmet and got a Glengarry Bonnet. I don't really play Demoman that much, but it looked sweet so i was okay with it.

I've wanted the Tyrolean for years.. the day i get it will be a big day. Or you know.. The day i get a hat for Medic.. Or Engineer(notfuckingmininglight/hatless).

Gibus notwithstanding? I... it might have been the Ellis Hat. I don't really remember.

But if it was the Ellis Hat, it was so simple and basic that I loved it to the point of painting it.

the gibus is a given for first hat, although now it's a ghastlier gibus.
a friend of mine gave me the ellis' cap, and my first non-promotional hat was the mann co. cap.
my first craftable hat was the manniversary paper hat.
my first REAL hat was one that i crafted myself-texas slim's dome shine. luckily for me, i play engie often.
unfortunately, i have yet to buy a hat from the store or receive one through the drop system.

I came in with a promotional Ellis Cap. My first hat I got in a trade was the Geisha Boy.

First hat drop was actually a miscellaneous drop (the Googly Gazer), but I crafted it with my second hat drop (the Company Man) to get the Ol' Geezer. Then I had that dropped on me as my third hat. Strange world.

First crafted hat was the Desert Marauder, mostly because I love the Lawrence of Australia set and wanted to finish it off.

Ghastly Gibus. I felt so god damn proud of myself when I got it.

I came over from the ps3 version after f2p, so I was basically in awe of hats and anyone who had them. My first hat (of course) was the Gibus, but so many people hate on that hat that I rarely end up wearing it.

My first drop hat was the Western Wear. Not bad by any means, but not exactly what I was hoping for. I do play Engie a lot though, and I don't think I've seen anyone else wearing one, so it does feel kinda special. It's growing on me.

My first (and only) uncrated hat was the Toque. I was so happy. Too bad I struggle at playing Heavy.

I've been wondering about what the odds of getting a hat actually are. Am I insanely lucky, or does three hat drops for 55hrs (with only half the time actually spent playing due to crashes/long loading) sound about right?

You'll have to go through me, too.
Back when the drop rate was doubled I found two hats within 20 minutes of each other, though I cant for the life of me remember what they were, since I traded them for hats Id rather have, and when this year's Halloween update kicked off I found two Soldier hats within 12 hours of each other.

First hat buy: Geisha boy. Worth every penny.
