Stories

Wool Lined Coat

Mr. Fog purchased this item from the same millinery he got the interviewee, and later gifted it to him upon his awakening.

The woolen fabric could possibly hold some form of kinship with the interviewee.

THOUGHT Device

A standard THOUGHT Device fitted to the side of the hat. It connects the user to the Kollektiv neural network, enabling them to control robots and machines by thought alone.

It is a true symbol of the power of the human spirit that people will put so much effort into making daily necessities aesthetically pleasing.

Leather Saddle

The interviewee purchased this genuine leather saddle at his own expense, having it tailor-made to fit his hobby horse, making it look very much the part of an extravagant plaything.

"A real ranger needs a real saddle!" the interviewee declared, even though his horse isn't a real horse.

Smart Hat Stand

Consisting of mechanical legs and a rugby ball-shaped torso, this hat stand is equipped with multiple functions, including auto-navigation, obstacle avoidance, and a user-tracking module.

Who wouldn't want a hat stand that comes to you with a single command? You'll never forget your THOUGHT Device again!

Hobby Horse

Though this hobby horse was buried under a pile of toys in a London shop, it still managed to find its way to the interviewee.

Not only does it allow him to live out his dream of becoming a ranger, but it has also made him incredibly popular with London's children.

Hologram Curtain

A decorative curtain designed in the Constructivist style.

Made from four levitating hologram modules, it can display any image or even three-dimensional models, satisfying all your customization needs!

Cavalry on the Waves

The early 20th century was an era of turmoil. As Australia continued to honor its cavalry's heroic deeds in the war, a thread of wool sailed across the Indian Ocean, passed the Cape of Good Hope, and crossed the Atlantic, bringing the legacy of pure Australian wool to a fedora hat in Great Britain.

His memory of the past is hazy, as a gentleman's hat can only observe the hats of others. But that particular day stands out vividly in his mind—a sea of fedoras and casquettes all around him, the rhythmic rise and fall of a clenched fist, and a white cloth overhead.

The white cloth then floated downward, gently resting on his head ... or more specifically, on the head of the gentleman wearing him.

"Our battle has only just begun!"

Indeed, it was in that moment that the words above made sense to him, and he realized—this is a battle, one that had just begun, and one that would never end.

A Faded Dream

Somewhere on this planet, there exists a beautiful land of red soil—a place teeming with life, where water flows, grass grows, and wool is plentiful. Yet, despite its tranquility, ambitious souls constantly eye the peaceful lives of its inhabitants.

That was until a courageous rider appeared—a brave member of the Rangers dedicated to restoring justice and equality to the people of the red land!

With the precision of an eagle and will of iron, he and his steed rode as one. He made his name known to all ...

"I am ... Brimley!"

"Now, I hope you all leave here today with no doubts in your hearts. This outcome is exactly what I had hoped for, both as a spokesperson and as a ranger."

Brimley concluded the press conference in record time, despite straying from the script. His opening words left a lasting impression on everyone present, including himself.

Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger

Brimley: It's truly an honor to be interviewed by UTTU today—not just as a spokesperson but also as a hat.

Pandora Wilson: And what a hat you are. Everyone knows how skillfully you handle the press, so I think I might actually manage to get a decent interview this time.

Brimley: Too right, you will. Keeping the populace pleased is part of a ranger's responsibility, after all.

Pandora Wilson: It's not rare to see people flip between different personalities when finding themselves in different situations, but you always seem to remain true to yourself.

Pandora Wilson: Do you cling on to your ranger identity, even when the job at hand doesn't call for it?

Brimley: Bloody oath! Whether I'm out there fighting for the underdog, staring down a bushfire, or scribbling away on the perfect speech—I'm a ranger, and I always will be!

Pandora Wilson: I'm glad you're finally speaking off-script. Now, let's get to the heart of who you are as a ranger—no holds barred.
