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 Eygptians.

Wow, looks great, beautiful condition. I didn't know they were straw beneath the felt. Great buy. Had a number of fez commissions lately after Dr Who! Might look out for an authentic vintage one myself.

Very interesting! The Austrian makers (Hückel´s Söhne, Brüder Böhm, ect.) were the major felt suppliers for Fez. Have you received it yet?

JHS early 1900s, notice Turkish & Austrian flags (also possibly Fez hoods at the right).

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 box. Last year I picked up a couple of fez hats in Turkey last year but they were just tourist quality.

I believe that Bollman Hats in Adamstown PA still makes them for the Masons here . I've seen some when I visited their office in New York.
