Now a fedora is a group of hats. Many hats, including cowboy hats, are types of fedoras. But wigs are not fedoras.
Type, style, category... yeah... wigs are a category of hat.

And a WIG is define as "a manufactured covering of natural or synthetic hair for the head"
So drop the topic.
That Wig definition would make it a hat, by definition.

Did you even read the definition. . . Only if it is used to display status of an office could you call it a hat.
Otherwise it's a manufactured cover

I did read it, that's how I knew it was a hat by definition.
A manufactured head covering would always be a hat. That it is or isn't made of real or synthetic hair would help us know whether or not the kind of hat is a wig or not. That wig definitely makes it really clear that all wigs have to be hats as you can't have a thing meet that definition without being a hat.

But a wig is only considered a hat if it also meets the definition of a hat. A hat is used to display status of an office (at least with one of the definitions.)
Since most people aren't out wearing wigs to show that they have some sort of clout, wigs aren't fucking hats.
If this was british parliament, then sure your wig is a hat due to the convention and standard of showing status.

Well, since all wigs must always meet the definition of a hat, whether answering yes or no here still results in all wigs being hats since if a wig doesn't meet that definition, it simultaneously stops being a wig and just becomes... a pile of loose hair I guess.

That's out next question, is barber shavings on the floor just a formless wig?

This is teh part I'm confused about. That's not what it takes for something to be a hat.
-
Hat:
A shaped covering for the head worn for warmth, as a fashion item, or as part of a uniform.
-
Find any wig that doesn't meet one of those requirements.
-
All wigs are shaped. Wigs are worn for the same purposes as hats: warmth, fashion, or uniform.
To cover "not having hair" applies to both wig and non-wig hats as that is part of fashion.

It's a quantum wig, in a state of high entropy.

If there is a hat in the woods and no one is wearing it, is it still a wig?
