Below is the list from the board yesterday, as to possible symbolism behind the hunting hat.

What’s up with the Red Hunting Hat?
Some of your responses included the following:
Literal: warmth / protection
Symbolic: emotional protection
                  Security / comfort / calms nerves / relaxation
                  Sense of individuality
                 New identity
                Expression of anger (after all, it’s a hunting hat-  mmm…what is he hunting / searching for?
                Defense mechanism
                Protection- from what?
                Fun
               Center of attention / clearly distinguishable
               Barometer of his emotional state
               Evokes memories of Allie
              Freezes time
