1882 play by Victorien Sardou that gave its name to a soft felt or velvet hat (6)

I believe the answer is:

fedora

(Other definitions for fedora that I've seen before include "Type of hat" , "Felt hat dented sideways" , "Felt hat, dented lengthwise" , "Cover for head" , "Felt hat dented lengthways" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
