Very large camouflage headwear with long ear-covery-bits which can be velcroed over the top of the head thus making the wearer look utterly ridiculous.
Whilst undeniably warm, DB Hats are lined with the world's most itchy substance (developed at Porton Down to be smuggled into Russian issue underwear factories, thus adding an interesting paragraph to the Russian equivalent of the chemical safety rule [Or have an itchy arse].
Dangerous Brian hats were of course banned by many Commanding Officers on the grounds of sheer stupidity, but continue to be the perfect complement to a chinese fighting jacket and issue long-johns, while drinking a Red Bull & vodka in the Officers' Mess bar. They are regularly used to accessorize a Naked Bar, particularly in RM messes.
Also known as the Deputy Dawg hat (or Dawg Hat for short), or Fozzie Bear hat. Unknown Quantity knows everything about Dangerous Brians after only a year with the Army.
