The '''bowler hat''' is a [[clothing]] item that covers the head. It provides a +15% increase to [[Social Impact]], minimal armor for the head and ears, and modest insulation.

== Acquisition ==
As a complicated garment, bowler hats require [[Research#Complex clothing|Complex Clothing]] to be researched and can only be made at [[Hand tailor bench|tailor]] [[Electric tailor bench|benches]]. A bowler hat requires 20 of any [[textile]], and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work.

Bowler hats can also be purchased, or stripped from [[Outlanders]].

== Summary ==
{{See also|Social Impact}}
{{Apparel Social Impact Note|15}}

When worn by a [[slave]],{{IdeologyIcon}} a bowler hat increases the rate that [[suppression]] is lost by 5% per day. This stacks additively with all other forms of suppression loss rate offsets.

== Analysis ==
Bowler hats are almost identical to [[cowboy hat]]s, with only a few minor differences:
* Bowler hats boost social impact more (+15% vs. +10%)
* Bowler hats offer less insulation from heat (40% vs. 50%)
* Bowler hats cost fewer materials (20 vs. 25) and are slightly less [[wealth|valuable]] as a result.

Both bowler hats and cowboy hats can be valuable in hot biomes, where the heat insulation is most valuable. If a bowler hat offers enough insulation already, then you might as well use it, since its cheaper. [[Tuque]]s offer no social impact, and protect against the cold rather than the heat, but are likewise similar.

If protection is desired, then [[simple helmet]]s will be better than almost any textile-based alterative. A cloth [[duster]] on its own gives {{Temperature|15||delta}} heat resistance, enough for a baseline human to survive up to {{Temperature|41}} before getting hot. Therefore, consider if you actually need a bowler hat's heat insulation. If only fabrics are available and the [[Ideology DLC]] is installed, then [[broadwrap]]s{{IdeologyIcon}} offers more protection. Note that if small amounts of [[thrumbofur]] or [[hyperweave]] are available, a bowler hat would protect against the heat while providing similar protection to a steel simple helmet. 

If your only goal is to increase Social Impact, then a [[hood]] is more expensive to create, but offers +20% instead of +15%.
