===Jughead's hat===
Jughead is almost always seen wearing his trademark beanie with both a round and square pin. This type of crown-shaped cap, called a [[whoopee cap]], sometimes a "Jughead cap" or "crown", was popular among boys in the 1930s and 1940s. It was made from a man's felt [[fedora]] hat with the brim trimmed in a zig-zag and turned up.<ref name="blogspot1"/> Bottle caps could be "pinned" in place using the cap's removable cork lining. In the 1920s and 1930s, college freshmen were sometimes required to wear them for initiation purposes, and such caps were often worn by mechanics.<ref>''[[Jughead Magazine|Jughead and Friends]]'' No.&nbsp;25 (February 2008)</ref> Similar caps have appeared on other comic book/strip, cartoon, and children's book characters such as [[List of Little Lulu characters#Main characters|Eddie Stimson]] in ''Little Lulu'', [[Little Audrey#Comic books|Melvin Wisenheimer]] in ''Little Audrey'', [[List of Berenstain Bears characters|Skuzz]] in The Berenstain Bears, and [[Encyclopedia Brown#Recurring characters|Bugs Meany]] in ''Encyclopedia Brown'' as well as on [[Goober Pyle]] on ''[[The Andy Griffith Show]]'' and [[Jeff Goldblum]]'s character "Freak #1" in ''[[Death Wish (1974 film)|Death Wish]]''. Jughead's hat was recolored in black in the [[Filmation]] cartoons and pink in ''[[The New Archies]]''. Over the course of the character's publication, Jughead's hat has evolved from a modified fedora to its more recognisable "crown" appearance.

Though some view the hat as strange and immature, Jughead considers it a good luck charm and when it is taken from him, misfortune comes his way. While on the school baseball team, Jughead was pulled aside and reprimanded by school principal Mr. Weatherbee for wearing the hat instead of a proper baseball uniform cap. Jughead complied, but then started performing so badly that Weatherbee was forced to relent.

In the "Time Police" comic, there is a double of his beanie given to him by an unknown benefactor (later revealed to be himself) that allows him to travel in time.

Some stories showed him wear a unique pin on his hat which attracts many girls to him, so he hid it to avoid the crowd of girls rushing him.

The hat also seems to define part of Jughead's personality. One story has the gang try to convince him to try a different hat, but it is revealed that whatever hat he tried on changed his personality to suit the hat. When they had him try on a detective hat, he focused on clues that would have gotten Archie in trouble with Betty and Veronica, and took a hair from Reggie's sweater that implied that he sneaked a date with Midge behind Moose's back (the look on both of their faces imply he was on to something). Jughead also stated that he felt naked without a hat. Finally, Veronica gave him a special hat to try on. When he did, everyone said it suited him (it was an ugly thing but looked comical. She said she was saving it for a Mad Hatter party). Jughead tried wearing it for a day at school, but scared several students, teachers, and even Miss Beazly the cafeteria lady) they begged him to go back to his trademark hat. When he asked what they'd do if he did, they offered him a platter of hamburgers and he happily agreed.

In Jughead and Friends Digest #25 story "The Secret of Jughead's Hat" his cap is destroyed in a laundry accident. Wendy Weatherbee (Principal Weatherbee's niece) replaces the lost hat by doing exactly as explained above when she takes an old fedora and cuts it and shapes it to remake the whoopee cap or crown.
