Level 10 Embroidered initials say 'Z.M.'

The Ghastly Gibus is an unlockable headwear item available to all classes. It appears as a slightly damaged, black gibus hat with the top nearly detached. In a similar fashion to the Gentle manne's service medal, the first possible method of getting this hat was to be one of the first 10,319 people to visit a hidden web page. The alternative method, through which it can be still be unlocked, is to complete the Ghastly Gibus Grab achievement by dominating a player wearing the hat.

Trivia

• The initials "ZM" are embroidered on the inside...
• The gibus, also known as the opera hat, was invented in 1800–10 and named for its inventor, a 19th century Frenchman. It is a man's tall, collapsible top hat, held open or in shape by springs and usually covered with a black, silky fabric.
• The ghost of Zepheniah Mann can be seen wearing this hat while haunting the event version of Harvest.
• The Ghastly Gibus is somewhat similar to the Scotsman's stove pipe.
• The hat may also be a reference to "gib", a term used when a character in a video game is killed in a very gory way, often scattering the characters various body parts apart.
• There are claims that the hat is now droppable, due to the fact that people have found without recently completing the achievement, leading to much confusion among the TF2 community.
• The amount of people who got one from the secret webpage, 10,319, is the date of Halloween 2009, 10/31/09.
• This hat cannot be crafted with a second hat to make a new hat in the same way that most class specific hats and misc items can be.
• It was possible to obtain two Ghastly Gibuses: by finding one through the hidden web page, while the giveaway was in practice, and by earning one with the achievement (though this serves no practical purpose, as the Gibus cannot be currently crafted into anything else).
• The Gibus was misspelled "Ghostly Gibus" in the TF2 Official Blog. However, it was probably just what the Soldier thought it was named.
• Because of how common the hat is, modelers tend to only make their custom hats replace the Gibus.
