| Seeking your expertise! Any idea what MF this is from? This is soft and NOT starched.
This is the reverse. The obverse is a little fuzzy. Thanks in advance!

I don't think that is real LEGO.

It has a very tiny neck hole, so if it is lego presumably it is from a minidoll
rather than minifig. But I don't recognize it.

That should definitely be in the Cloth category.

Sorta agree, but it is indeed headwear.

It is, but we classify by material type before part use.
Basically, the "Cloth", "Foam", "Paper", and "Plastic"
categories have a higher "weight" when it comes to how things on BrickLink
are classified in the System categories. If it fits in one of those categories
first, it should be in that category. In other words, most people would likely
look for this part in the "Cloth" category before anything else and,
thus, it should be there.

This case highlights the big problem of a hierarchical system. Would people
look for figure accessories in the Cloth category or in one of the figure accessory
categories? Tough to say. They should be accessible in both categories.
Anyway, the only figure accessories I see in the Cloth category are for large
buildable figures. The other minifigure-size cloth items are in these categories:
219 in Minifigure, Body Wear (all the capes, skirts, etc.)
47 in Mini Doll, Body Wear
2 in Minifigure, Headgear Accessory
When I originally wrote the categorization criteria you're referencing* I
worded it in the way you understand it. I'm just not sure now if making
part composition the second sorting criteria is the best way to do things. At
least for cloth items, it's not the way things are consistently done now.

I can tell you what happened with me. I looked in "Minifigure, Body Wear".
It is probably the only cloth "Minifigure, Headgear Accessory" so it
didn't occur to me to look there, even though I have the piece and very recently
measured it. I feel like Body Wear and Headgear Accessory ought to be combined
into one category.

I reckon both categories need to be revamped. I don't think it will happen
anytime soon, though.
