Meaning
This reads as a playful burst of bravado, with the fox hat standing in for swagger, disguise, and a stubborn will to get away. The joke works because it turns an odd accessory into a small manifesto of escape. It lands in a moment of teasing between friends, when someone is trying to look ridiculous and formidable at the same time.
