'wear' is the definition.
(fedora is a kind of wear)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for fedora that I've seen before include "Felt hat dented lengthways" , "Headgear" , "Soft hat with band" , "Felt hat dented sideways" , "O, Fred, a hat becomes you" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
