⛑️ Hard Hat

The Hard Hat is a practical headgear in Stardew Valley. It’s designed to give your farmer a rugged look while working in mines or construction zones, adding a touch of realism to their farming experience.

While it serves primarily as a cosmetic item, it allows players to embrace the hardworking lifestyle of a farmer, miner, or builder, making it an appealing choice for those seeking to enhance their character’s aesthetic.
