Dipper's hat is one of the main objects in Gravity Falls and one of the most recognizable objects from the series. It's a denim blue and white trucker hat with a blue pine tree on front of it.
The hat is important in the prophecy of the Zodiac as the pine tree on it resembles Dipper's symbol in the Zodiac. The hat is currently in possession of Wendy.
History[]
Dipper chose the hat at the end of the episode "Tourist Trapped" when Stan Pines gave Dipper and Mabel an opportunity to choose something for free from the Mystery Shack souvenir shop. After losing his original hat in the battle with the gnomes earlier, Dipper chooses the blue and white pine tree hat.
In some episodes, the hat gets damaged but is always seen fine the next time it appears. In "Land Before Swine," it's revealed that Stan has still more blue and white pine tree trucker hats on his shelf in the souvenir shop.
When Dipper and Mabel are leaving Gravity Falls at the end of the summer in "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls," Wendy takes the hat and gives her lumberjack hat to Dipper. She decides to keep the pine tree hat to remember him until he returns next summer.
Dipper's old hat[]
In the episodes "Tourist Trapped" and "Weirdmageddon 2: Escape From Reality," Dipper is seen wearing his old hat; a dark brown and army green trucker hat with a brown star on the front.
In Gravity Falls: Journal 3, it's revealed that he considered his old hat as a lucky hat and that he had worn it since 5th grade. He also never washed the hat because Dipper believed that would ruin the luck.
When he fights off the gnomes in "Tourist Trapped" while fleeing from them in the Shack's golf cart, he loses the hat. It gets grabbed by a gnome who falls off of the cart after Mabel punches the gnome off of Dipper's face.
In Gravity Falls: Lost Legends, it's revealed that Shmebulock (a gnome) has taken the hat and has added it to his collections.

Trivia[]
- The hat is alongside Journal 3 as one of the most recognizable objects in and out of the series.
- The main reason Dipper wears the hat (and his old one) is to hide his birthmark in the shape of The Big Dipper, which he is ashamed of.
- The hat is for sale on multiple websites and the official Disney store, although one of the officially licensed Disney hats doesn't match the hat from the series, as it is a darker shade of blue and has a mesh back instead of a closed one.
- This darker hat is a match for the one Dipper wears in the unaired pilot and some of his concept art.
- Besides Dipper, Mabel and Wendy are the only characters who were seen to wear this hat on the show.
- In Lost Legends, one of the alternate Mabels in MAB-3L is a mixture of Dipper and Mabel known as Mabipper who wears her own identical version of the hat.
- The hat also makes an appearance in the Disney shows Amphibia and The Owl House.
- In the Amphibia episode "After the Rain", Dipper's hat is among the objects inside the "love-nado dance."
- In The Owl House' series premiere "A Lying Witch and a Warden", a hat resembling the one worn by Dipper can be seen among the items in Eda's shop.
