'millinery' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'covers up characters handcuffed or arrested with product coming out' is the wordplay.
'FEDORA' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
