Epic Hat Thread

So...I'm making the witch hunter hat from Warhammer (concept art) because I think it is one of the most epic hats that I have seen.

Teaser:

What hat(s), headwear, etc. from movies, video games, real world do you consider epic?
Example: Jayne's hat (Firefly)

Update:

Almost finished. I still need to finish stitching the brim and paint the gold swirly things on the brim. The hat is size XL (23-24" approx.), and I may be offering it up for sale. I don't know, I am seriously digging this hat. Apologies for the quality of the pics. My curtains are red, so the colors are off and I'm using my daughter's cheap camera (ignore the date, I took this pic today). I also added rivets around the brim because just having rivets on the crown seemed a bit off.

It sits kind of funny on the mannequin head making the sides flip up a bit, but it's not too bad. One thing I will do on the next one, is to rivet the whole back seam. I don't like the way the half stitching/half rivets looks. It may be because my kid punched the stitching holes, but it's in the back, so not a big deal. The goggles are almost always on the mannequin head. I forgot to take them off when taking pics of the hat. They are loosely based on the goggles pattern on my website.
