'hat' is the definition.
(I know that fedora is a type of hat)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for fedora that I've seen before include "Or fade away with man's soft felt hat" , "Headwear" , "Cover for head" , "Felt hat dented sideways" , "O, Fred, a hat becomes you" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
