My 1930's Fez hat continued!
Thanks AntonAAK, I've just read through all of those threads and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the photos and what other Fez hats fellow loungers knew about this curious hat and its history. A couple of photos of me here in Turkey last year, although made illegal to wear a Fez in Turkey by Mustapha... -

My 1930's Fez hat continued!
I'm surprised i've not come across these before but found a brilliant web site with some fab photos of chaps looking very dapper in their traditional Ottoman hats. Great quote too 'Something about its elemental design added gravitas in ways denied to more elaborate headwear. The top hat for... -
My 1930's Fez hat continued!
Yes I think that might likely be the case. Attached is a photo of a traditional 1930's style Turkish flag. If one concluded that the Egyptian flag was the to the right and the Turkish (Ottoman) to the left, it certainly could be! -
My 1930's Fez hat continued!
Well that is fantastic information! Yes I was aware that Fez hats were band in Turkey by Mustapha Kemel (Ataturk) in 1924 but there was some resistance at first by some to give up their hats. However if the logo as you suggest is Egyptian then i must concede to it being likely made in Egypt... -

My 1930's Fez hat continued!
Apparently its virtually a lost art now. Last year I bought a couple of tourist fez hats from Turkey and these were basically card covered with a dark red felt material. A friend mentioned a book by Jeremy Seal 'A Fez of the Heart' and i discovered a lot about true fez hats and its intriguing... -
My 1930's Fez hat continued!
Ok chaps, well my hat arrived today I was really excited to finally own a 1930's genuine vintage Fez hat. I'm loading up some photos for your viewing. As you can imagine this is an incredible find! The story from what I can understand was that the eBay seller explained it was purchased by his... -
My new Fez circa 1930's still boxed as new!
Great photo, i've read a great deal about the Fez hat, Jeremy Seal has a terrific book about the fez hat called 'A Fez of the Heart'. I'm looking forward to receiving my newly acquired vintage hat. From the photos it appears to have had a very good life and lived for the most part in its hat... -
My new Fez circa 1930's still boxed as new!
I've been hankering after a real genuine vintage Fez for some time. Finally managed to bag one for a great price on eBay. All details appear correct. Hat is straw with wool felt and leather sweat band. Size appears to be correct to Ottoman style as oppose to the higher style favoured by the... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
This evening's hat had to be a Fez. I was at a Hookah bar and it just seemed the obvious choice. Its a genuine vintage fez circa 1950's with a leather sweat band, wool felt and signed made in Morocco. -

Fez
Well a bit late to the thread but I was in Turkey earlier this year (2013) and bought this fez hat...its not what I would call a 'proper' fez rather more tourist quality and cost 4 lira but hey I don't think you can get proper fez hat any more. Typically tourist ones are made from cardboard and... -
Olney Panama versus Christys Panama?
Evening all, so today i picked up my second panama. My original panama a Christys superfine has started to change colour and the roof has caved in so to speak, not that i mind that. It kind of gives the hat a slight plantation hat look. I liked the style so that i've ironed my new Olney in a... -
How much cloth do you need for a waistcoat?
Bit the bullet and ordered another half metre so the project is back on. -
How much cloth do you need for a waistcoat?
I had hoped I had enough fabric left over from my new hat build but alas I think not. As you can see from photo 2, its actually quite a good close match in fabric to my tweed jacket. -

How much cloth do you need for a waistcoat?
I have a lovely Harris Tweed charcoal black two button jacket and recently ordered half a metre of the very same cloth from Deenie McCloud from the Isle of Harris and asked her to send it to Lawrence & Foster Caps of North Yorkshire to make me a nice Yorkshire flat cap.....now I thought it... -

Morning Dress On the Cheap
Whilst I own a morning coat, I've yet found the opportunity to wear it. I figured as its probably the most formal of jackets (well for me any way) that perhaps i'll wear it at a wedding but its possible that in my socio-economic circle that i'd be overdressed or worse mistaken for the groom... -
Dry clean only?
I was giving this some thought over the weekend, whilst I would never pop one of my 2 or 3 piece suits into the washing machine I did think that after doing some research I would chance placing my collection of 'dry clean only' trousers (I believe you Americans refer to them as pants) into our...
