 Fez (clothing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fez is a red felt hat in the shape of a truncated cone; a fl tassel hangs from the crown.
The red fez with blue tassel was the standard headdress of the Turkish Army from the 1840s until the introduction of a khaki service dress and peakless sun helmet in 1910.
From the late 19th century on the fez was widely adopted as the headdress of locally recruited "native" soldiers in the various colonial forces of the World.

 Saudi Aramco World : Fez: Preserving a City   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Fez, Morocco's ancient center of learning and the arts, is now the focus of one of the world's most ambitious preservation and restoration efforts.
Fez conjures up another image for travelers, defining and preserving the essence of a fabled Arab city, where hundreds of minarets testify to the city's religious fervor, and dozens of ancient portals beckon, leading to fun-duqs (hotels) or madrasahs (schools) or palatial merchants' homes.
While Fassi merchants, both in Fez and elsewhere, are expected to contribute a healthy share of the donations, appeals are being made throughout the Arab world, as well as to international agencies and individuals concerned with preserving this unique cultural landscape.

The fez, also spelled fes, is a particular style of hat that originated from the city of Fez in Morocco.
The modern fez is made of felt, shaped roughly like a canister or truncated cone, tapering slightly towards the top where there is a tassel fixed to the middle of the flat top.
The transition to the fez was resisted for some time, but by the end of the century Turkey was swept up by a "Europeanization" wave and the fez became a loved symbol of nationality.
