Auties love hats. Or hate them.

George R.R. Martin, the renowned author of A Song of Ice and Fire, is instantly recognizable not just for his sprawling fantasy epics but also for his signature fisherman's cap—a soft, woolen or knit beanie with a small, stiff brim, often black, that sits snugly atop his head, complementing his white beard and suspenders. This hat, sometimes likened to a watch cap or a quirky newsboy variant, has become a cultural hallmark of his persona, often paired with turtle pins or medieval-inspired brooches, giving him the air of a sea captain moonlighting as a fantasy sage. Its "weirdness" isn't inherent in the hat itself—a practical choice for someone from chilly New Jersey now living in sunny New Mexico—but in how it’s been memeified by fans and amplified by Martin’s own playful embrace of his eccentric style. Fans joke about his "Popeye hat" or call it "molded dandruff," tying it to his infamous delays on The Winds of Winter, with some quipping he’s collecting hats instead of finishing books. Martin fuels this with Facebook posts showcasing hat collections, like his "Trying out new hats...part one" album, which sparked blogs like "The Many Hats of George RR Martin." In interviews, such as a 2018 New York Times piece, he’ll wax poetic about sourcing caps from "many places" while sidestepping writing questions, making the hat a symbol of his lovable procrastination. Far from just headwear, it’s a quirky extension of his brand—unapologetic, endearing, and fodder for fan love and gentle roasting, with Game of Thrones-themed versions like Stark direwolf caps even sold on his site.
