Paddington's Red Hat is a odd red stained bucket hat that Paddington Brown wears every day.
The Red Hat used to belong to his Uncle Pastuzo, given to him by Montgomery Clyde when he visited Darkest Peru. The unnamed male bear (later to be known as Pastuzo) saves Clyde's life.
History[]
Films[]
In Paddington (2014), the hat first appears in a grainy film made by Montgomery Clyde. After his trip to Peru, Montgomery Clyde gifted his hat to Pastuzo. Pastuzo is wearing the hat during a flashback at the start of Paddington 2. Pastuzo is talking to his wife Lucy about going to London when they see a bear cub in the water. Lucy and Pastuzo rescue him. Pastuzo's red hat ends up falling on the bear cub, who eats the marmalade sandwich inside. When Paddington is forced to leave Peru in Paddington (2014), he takes only his suitcase filled with marmalade, red hat and label around his neck.
Paddington wears his red hat all around London and it soon becomes his signature accessory. He always follows Pastuzo's advice:
"A wise bear always keeps a marmalade sandwich in his hat ,in case of emergency. " |
TV Series[]
In some adaptations such as the first Paddington animated series, the hat was black.
