The hat shop in fall.

Hats are cosmetic clothing items that alter the appearance of the player but otherwise have no effect.

Hats cannot be sold through the Shipping Box, to the Hat Mouse, or to any store/shop in the game.

Obtaining hats

The day after earning their first Achievement, players will receive a letter from the mouse in the Abandoned House alerting them that hats can now be purchased there. Most Achievements unlock a new hat for sale.

A few hats can only be obtained at certain festivals, the Casino, the Adventurer's Guild, or in treasure rooms in the Skull Cavern.

Many hats can also be tailored at the sewing machine in Emily's house or the Sewing Machine received as a reward for the "Rock Rejuvenation" special order.

There is a small chance to receive certain hats from slaying monsters, breaking crates and barrels, chopping trees, shaking trees with seeds, digging Artifact Spots, or panning. Details are found on their respective pages.
