There is just something about the fez that requires a mustache, the more luxuriant, the better. Without it you look like a callow youth wearing a flower pot. With the mustache, elegance personified. And I look really, really stooopid in a mustache. It's got to be a full beard and that doesn't look bad in a fez, either. Fez and dinner jacket. Now we're talking.

You mean like this Sarge? This is a face that has a story to tell. I can only hope my moustache looks that good in another 6 months.

This is an interesting short fez. Wouldn't mind having one of those for a different look altogether.

Or is this the grand moustache you are thinking of to go with a fez?

I would never have guessed that he was a Welshman, he plays that character so well.

"The Adventure of the Empty House".

"Your theory is to be just as likely as the next. Watson, have you formed one?"
"Mmmm...I think I have. The Fez, being an awesome hat, should return to fashion. It hasn't because people are yet to find a practical use for it in this sun-conscious 21st century society of ours, although it is an excellent head-warmer when inside the house on cold winter nights".

 

[Espee]

Yes, a fez is something like a stiffened, pom-pom-less nightcap!

Those are the Muslim troops recruited by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to help Germany's WWII-era leader right?

Some Spanish Army forces used to wear fezzes too. See this picture:

Is a B/W picture, but the fezzes were red.
