A liar who always lies says "All my hats are green...
As a native English speaker, I'd have said "all my hats are green" is untrue when you don't own any hats, meaning (A) isn't actually implied to be true. The fact the guy is a liar means he's allowed to imply he owns hats when he doesn't, right??

Agreed. They are making two declarative statements: “all my hats”, and “are green”
If they always lie, then statement one is false - they lied about having hats.
