Button's wig is a unique piece of headwear in Fallout 3.
Characteristics[]
It resembles a powdered wig from the 17-18th centuries.
At the expense of -1 to Perception, it grants bonuses of 1 to Intelligence, 5 to Barter and 10 to Speech skills. It also provides a Damage Resistance of 1. It can only be repaired by merchants.
Location[]
The wig is found on top of Button Gwinnett's cabinet in the National Archives, near the end of the Stealing Independence quest.

Notes[]
- The Intelligence bonus gives +2 to the Science, Medicine and Repair skills (assuming Intelligence is not already 10). This is the only headgear other than Lincoln's hat that gives bonuses to these skills.
- A bonus of 10 to Speech roughly equals two points of Charisma in regards to a NPC's disposition towards the player character.
- If worn, the effects screen in the Pip-Boy will label it as "Gentleman's Demeanor."
- Despite Button wearing one of these wigs, it does not show up in his inventory.
- While the wig itself does not appear in Fallout: New Vegas, its effect "Gentleman's Demeanor" can still be found in the G.E.C.K.
