 * To view all hats, see here.

Hats are items that users equip to the head, neck or back region of their Robloxian.

Obtaining Hats
The most common way to obtain a Hat is to purchase it from the Catalog using Robux or Tickets. Hats can also be won in Contests or obtained from Gift Hats.

Note that Hats are common to become Limited or Limited Unique items, which typically sell for much higher then the original price.

Criticism
Hats on ROBLOX are known to be the subject of criticism. Most users consider them to be overpriced, in which many of them cost 500 Robux or greater, and expensive to where, usually, only BC members can afford them. In the Catalog, there are a very few number of hats which charge Tickets, and many are very overpriced, making it seemingly impossible to obtain without paying in Robux.

Limited Hats


Limited hats are hats that were once sold, but then chosen to be put on limited sale. When put on limited sale, no new copies of this hat will be produced, and the people who bought the hat during it's sale will be able to sell the hat at a price chosen to their desire, given that the user has a form of Builders Club.

Limited Unique Hats


Limited unique hats are hats that have a certain amount of copies, and when first published, are sold by the admins. All copies of a limited unique hat have a special number to it, and when a user buys the hat, he gets that specific copy of the hat. For example, if a hat is limited unique, and has only 100 copies, and you by the 50th, your hat will be designated by a #50/100. Once the hat is sold out, all owners of the hat with a Builders Club can sell the hat at a price they desire.

Because these hats have a designated number, many users try to collect limited unique hats with that specific number.



Triple Hat Feature
After a while, wearing hats got boring to some people. This is why they created programs that allowed you to wear multiple hats. This was called a Double Hat Glitch (DHG), Triple Hat Glitch (THG), etc., based on how many you were wearing. The admins saw this and realized they needed to add the Triple Hat Feature, which would allow you to wear up to three hats without needing to use a user-made program. The Triple Hat Feature was implemented on 2010-06-08, as announced in this blog post. Go to your character page and find some neat hat combos!

Trivia

 * Development began on Hats in 2007, and continue to this day.
 * You could have only wear one hat at a time on until 2010, when ROBLOX implemented a system that allowed you to wear upwards of three hats. Prior to this feature, the only way a user could wear more than one hat was by glitching.
 * Hats make your Robloxian more heavy, so the rocket boots fly slower and you jump lower.
 * Hats can assist you in sword fighting, as they make you heavy and lunge.
 * Administrators are the only users who can make hats, typically using the ROBLOX user.
 * Some hats fit other heads, like the Blockhead Baseball Cap.
 * If you had only 1 hat in your avatar then attempting to pick up another hat in-game, they cannot wear it unless they drop the hat that they are wearing.
 * Wearing more than 4 hats is caused by spamming hat givers like they got a fedora, then a different fedora, a glass, then headphones.
 * ROBLOX usually makes hats on random days, or on a holiday, which is notified as "New" on the top right corner of the hat's picture.
 * If you drop all your hats, You may only pick one back up. This is most likely because of the code not being changed from being allowed to wear one hat to three.
