Red Hat

The Red Hat is a vanity item equipped on the Social Helmet Slot. It has a 100% drop chance from the Clothier NPC.

The player's weapons won't affect NPCs (outside of equipping the Guide Voodoo Doll), so one will need to lure an enemy to him (the Goblin Army event is an easy method) or trap him, then kill him with lava. Lava will destroy the hat, so be careful unless it's very thin in which case it will kill the Clothier but won't destroy the hat. Since 1.2 you can kill the clothier with the Clothier voodoo doll equiped, but this summons skeletron (this can be countered by unequiping it).

Trivia

 * While wearing the Red Hat and speaking to the clothier, he will sometimes say that the hat looks familiar.
