    These are not hooks but question marks. It is simply a ‘thinking cap (hat)’.

    When you’re a builder and you need to get changed, just hook your clothes onto the hat and get changed!

    For use in sewers maybe. Warders might use them for their keys as they are in charge of a lot of keys. Or if they are on a ladder they could hold lots of stuff.

    Obviously that hat has been used to keep you safe.
