Preferred term
fez (headwear)
Definition
- The fez is a piece of headwear, made from pressed wool, worn primarily by Muslim men in the regions of the former Ottoman Empire. The fez likely originated from the urban centers of the Balkans, where the fez-like hat has deep historical roots; it was subsequently adopted and refined by adding the tassel and red color by Ottoman Muslim Mediterranean sailors and merchants in port cities along the Mediterranean coast.
