Button's wig

Button's wig is a unique piece of headwear in Fallout 3. In appearance, it resembles a powdered wig from the 17-18th centuries.

CharacteristicsEdit

At the expense of a -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, but only can be repaired by merchants.

The wig is found on top of Button Gwinnett's cabinet in the National Archives, near the end of the Stealing Independence quest.

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 has about the same result to non-player character disposition as 2 points of Charisma.
If worn, the effects screen in the Pip-Boy will label it as "Gentleman's demeanor".
Despite Button wearing one of these wigs, the one he wears cannot be collected (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..
