They're cool! A History of the Fez

The Fez, or Tarboosh, is a hat that in the west generally symbolizes Arab lands, the middle East, Turkey, or particularly Morocco, or gentlemanly relaxation. From its origins as a greek peasant hat to its association with the city of Fes to the symbol of ottoman culture it became, it has endured several falls of empires and changes of religions.

    "Fez" اسم الطربوش على فاس مدينة مغربية..هاته المدينة لها تاريخ طويل..وكانت معروفة بصناعة المنسوجات..الثوب واللحاف وحتى الصناعة الجلدية" maroquinerie " وهذا الاسم مشتق ايضا من المغرب..لان هذا البلد قديما كان يصدر الملابس الجلدية.

    That’s right! The story goes that Cooper, who served in Egypt during World War II, adopted the fez after finding it easier to remove than a helmet when performing magic tricks for his fellow troops. The fez became an iconic part of his image, contributing to his distinctive, quirky appearance and adding a touch of absurdity to his act. It became so synonymous with Cooper that it’s hard to picture him without it. His use of the fez helped to make his act memorable and distinct in the world of comedy and entertainment.

    @@Charizard-hf3du interesting. Fez was founded under this name in the year 789. But you know that 800 years BEFORE the name was used for this city, a hat was named after it? You are really funny. More likely this coin is one of many ancient coins used in the whole Mediterranean area (and neighboring areas like today‘s atlantic coast Morocco. It is of course likely that the coins shows a king or emperor or Roman consul or governor or whoever and it is likely that the person wore a hat with a shape which was extremely popular throughout the Mediterranean and for many centuries. However it is impossible that this hat was called „Fez“ when the coin was minted because the name itself needed another 800 years to be used.

    This Moroccan hat is called Fez because it originated in the city of Fez and for several centuries it was made in Fez. And from Morocco it was spread to several countries of the world by the Ottomans who adopted it instead of their turban.

    Actually it's originally Andalusi. It was the Chechiya in Al-Andalus. After the Catholics expelled the Moors Andalusi refugees settled in Sale, Tlemcen, Tunis and other Maghrebi port towns. Some of these refugee hat makers settled in Fes and began making them there and used the dye, that the video mentioned, but many also settled in Tunis which remains a center of Chechia or Few manufacturing even today.

    I took a picture of the FEZ that Harry Truman wore here in Missouri. He was a member of the Ararat Shrine. It was in the Truman presidential library and museum here in Kansas City. I just thought it was fun because my grandpa fought in WW2. He has a WW1 German hat by his side as well. My for father's fought in the American revolution- one ancestor had 4 sons in the army. I have great fear and guilt about how it inspired the movement of liberty and democracy in France, which caused chaos over the nature of nations and spilled into German speaking lands. Later this lead to a German backlash of pride as they struggled to keep up. It looks non-coincidentally reflective in the term "Lebenstraum"- an attempt to emulate our economic system of growth based settlement with lots of land to create fresh opportunity and enjoy it. Germany didn't have that freedom. There were also several displays about the creation of Israel that I took a picture of. You would enjoy coming to watch a Royals game here in KC... apparently, he is also from KC, Missouri, too, as there is also a MO flag and Royals hat on his right and left. The KC Royals beat the NY mets in a world series years ago. I watched a video about Fez history to simply ease my mind with the fact that shriners were created with the very simple mission of "fun and fellowship." - nothing nefarious or secretive. I felt the need to comment as it looked to be a sign from God. Jewish people have historically been equally as welcome as any other group. I have an acquaintance whose name is "Jihad" that goes to my gym. I told him that after 9/11 the US could simply have dropped an A-Bomb on Mecca and that he should let go of his claim to Jerusalem and take the money in the form of massive amounts of oil that God has given him as payment for the land... simply add some socialism infrastructure to spread that wealth among his family. Now the war in the Ukraine is bringing up remnants of my American revolution again... a Jewish man is president defending land against a Slavic people against another Slavic people. The Jewish religion looks like the circumcision of Abraham's son is a primitive tattoo of sorts to keep control of the reproduction of an ethnic people and not intermix with the Egyptians who just learned how to make civilisation from the people who they are now enslaving. Russia seems to be in a war to emulate God... but yet its defense is led by a Jewish president... the people who have mastered ethnic identity being passed down no matter what the cost. This all looks like a live discussion of the nature of civilization... I personally don't have the answers, and by definition of our democracy I can never speak for ourselves alone. I can say that I personally remember where I was when 9/11 happened. It seemed eerily coincidental to a difficulty I was having in college at the time. I showed up late to a student teaching site on a Monday because I didn't read the paper correctly and didn't see that there was an Elementary orchestra class earlier in the day at another school that I was supposed to go to. I showed up on what I thought what the correct time on Monday morning, but on Tuesday morning while showing up to the elementary school I was supposed to be at, the 9/11 attack happened. I smoked marijuana with some friends on the weekend before. I was guilty of it, but the reason I smoked it was because some friends were trying to cheer me up and cure my severe depression that arose from my fiance, who I took to prom in High School, slept with a man she met at a bar and broke off our engagement. I was hours away studying and couldn't show her the good time that her young mind needed. My community around me found it simpler to blame my problems on the marijuana/alcahol... but the honest reason that I was late had nothing to do with it... I simply misread the itinerary. I can remember it very clearly. I have argued with my family and community ever since and have not been able to recover. I was never able to get up on my feet and I still can't. I simply visited the Truman museum last presidents to pay respects and celebrate. Vladimir Zelensky actually looks like my old college roomate- their faces are very similair. The TV show that was filmed before he was elected president had a storyline where he had a body double. I don't know what the best form of civilization is. Progress through history... my family came from Scotland, about as far from Israel as possible in Europe. We learned civilization the hard way from the Romans and then from the English. Then we made a new version of civilization and, I think, a new version of a Bible. One of which a very large and successful population of Jews enjoy the security and opportunity of. That new Bible could not have been built without the old one. Now we live here very harmoniously. I watch lectures from scholars such as Dr. Henry Abrams who I respect very much. It makes me wonder as a thought experiment... is there anything such as "Jewish" still? Is the home here in the US so hospitable that Jews abandon their religion and stay? Is there something inadequate about it? Does anyone need help to make it so? Maybe have we achieved the home that you're trying to make? You can practice any religion you want here, reproduce any way you want here, do business almost any way you want here... our white ethnic identity is eroding slowly, but we have the freedom to maintain our personal choices still. I feel genuinely guilty about the pain we caused the world. We did pay a price for it along the way. I also know that it doesn't compare to the pain that the Jews have experienced. That's all the information I have. Anyone from Israel is welcome to come to KC and visit the Truman museum, watch the Royals, or the Chiefs, or the Kansas City Symphony that is lead by Issac Stern's son, Michael. I pray the world can learn to live with itself and maybe I can do well myself to learn my grandfathers masonic principals of "fun and fellowship."

    In Turkish they call it as Fas which was capital of Morocco. In Arabic country they call it Tarbush which is from Persian word of Sarpush ( means head gear ) from Ottoman Turkish. In Iran they called it as either Fineh or Estambuli ( hat of Istanbul). But the Iranian version was made in Black color which was originated from Karakol hat. Beside that Iranian Shia Islamic beliefs made Iranians to use black color which was associated with Imam Hussein while red color was associated to the sunni Muslims in their eyes.

    The origin of the Fez tarbush is Morocco 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦, specifically the city of" Fez." Therefore, it bears the name of this city, Fez. It spread throughout the world after the Ottoman Sultan visited Morocco and found all Moroccans wearing it. He decided to import it from Fez and circulate it to all his citizens, and thus it moved to the countries that were under Ottoman colonialism. In Morocco, it is still worn with traditional Moroccan clothing.

Dating back to the kopiah of the Majapahit, so to speak. Hence, It's unjust to categorize it as a variation of the Fez. Although, it is an understandable mistake.

    Your assumptions are correct,the so called "original fez" shown in the video doesnt even remotely look like the modern fez. The fez is originated from morocco and the ottomans made it popular due to Mediterranean merchant ships that sailed from morocco. The oldest illustration of the modern fez is of the sultan Abd al-Haqq II of the marinid dynasty of morocco. Yes morocco did provide the dye but also had the artisans that make them and still make them till this day and sell them to other arab country Visit fes the old medina and you will see the same old dye factory still working till this day
