I traded a Vintage Eyelander with some guy on a FreeFrag server for a Vintage Frenchman's Beret.

I then traded my Football Helmet, which I despised greatly, for a Name Tag with the intent of renaming my Community Rocket Launcher into a Community Clip Checker. But since a rocket launcher is a stock weapon, I can't. I asked Driller if he could maybe get somebody to hotfix that community weapons are an exception to the stock rule, but otherwise I'll use it to trade with somebody.

Well there's a whole lot of people renaming their stock weapons over at Facepunch so you must be doing it wrong, have you ticked the show stock weapons in your back pack?

Community Rocket Launcher. It's not in the Stock Weapons checkbox. It will not let me change the name. I cannot possibly be doing it wrong. I click the Name Tag, Click Use With, go to the Community Rocket Launcher in my backpack, and then I see it is grayed out like the Gibus or Cheater's Lament, thus not allowing me to change the name.

Got all 3 hats I wanted:
Soldier's Kabuto
Scout's Beanie
Spy's Billycock
All achieved with:
3 lower-class hats, around 8 "grade up" trades, 22 posts on steam forum and 2 hours of refreshing the page.

Well, it took a dupe football helmet, dupe ushanka, and a can of white paint, but I finally traded for one of these last night:

Traded Pan for Respectless Rubber Glove, they've both pretty much on the same level - just wanted to trade something.

I don't get the hate for either of them tbh - quite like them both!

I did a ton of trades, so I ended up with a new Safe'n'Sound and Napper's Respite. I don't even remember how it happened, but those hats are so amazingly awesome, it doesn't matter.

Urgh! we need an "I just got a hat" dejection tread...

I crafted 4 refined metal and a pyro token, hoping to get ANYTHING except the beanie (I crafted one before, then found one the day after) or the napper's respite.
Bear in mind it took me ages to get all the stuff for that craft, including trading items to get a pyro item needed for the token.

Guess what I crafted. ANOTHER FFFFING BEANIE!

it is available for trade over at mannconomy.com

But the napper's respite is not even rare! It made me angry how valve decided to put them in crates... Crates' drop times = Weapon drop times. http://tf2stats.net/hats/

2.53% of 78112 people already have it! Within the first week???

I now have the merryweather and black-painted nap cap along with my beanie.
I can barely even keep track of my hats any more.

Traded a regular Hustler's Hallmark for a purple-painted one. Fuck yeah!

Also, I have Matt's plunger in orange.

Traded a set of Heavy weapons (Chocolate, Sandvich, Natasha, KGB) for a Pyro beanie. Since they were all duplicates, I'm not too bothered. (Also wrangled a Degreaser and a Axetinguisher from trading)
