fez
A fez is a type of brimless headdress, typically made of red felt, with a tassel attached on top. It is shaped like a truncated cone and originates from Turkish culture. Fez hats are often associated with the Middle East and North Africa but were also once considered fashionable in Europe during the 19th century. The name "fez" is believed to have originated from the Moroccan city of Fez, where the hat's dye was produced.
