All men agree that there's no greater shame than to be outcoifed by someone. Rich men spend millions of dollars every year to ensure their scalp is graced by the greatest gathering of hair imaginable. Unfortunately the Heavy has not been able to join this tradition. No longer! With this deceptively unrealistic toupé you'll fit right in!
— Fancy Vs. Nasty update description

The Coupe D'isaster is a community-created headwear item for the Heavy and was released as a part of the Australian Christmas update. It appears as a badly-done black Toupée, hence the reference to disaster in its name.
