More Details 140 - 1870s Fez - Made to Order These pieces are currently Made to Order and will take 2-4 weeks to make before shipping Made in the USAThe Fez came of age in the 1870s with the foundation of the Freemasons. On June 16, 1871, the original Thirteen Masons organized the first Shrine Temple - which they named "Mecca" - at Nickerbocker College on 6th Avenue. And in maintaining the Near East theme, these first Shriners chose to denote their exclusivity with the Fez. The notable red Fez with its black tassel became the Shrine's official headgear, and has since been handed down through the ages.

It derives its name from the place where it was first manufactured G??+?G??-+" the holy city of Fez in Morocco. Back in Adamstown, the Bollman Hat Company became the primary manufacturer of this style and has produced hundreds of thousands of felt Fezzes since the 1870's that have been worn by famous Shriners including Presidents Harry Truman and Gerald Ford, General Douglas MacArthur and Chief Justice Earl Warren. 6 1/4" high.100% Wool.Embroidered Shriner Insignia.Black Tassel.Custom 140th lining.Grosgrain ribbon sweatband. The origins of the fez, or "tarboosh" in Moroccan, is not clear. The design may have come from ancient Greece or the Balkans. In the 19th Century it gained wide acceptance when the Ottoman rulers moved to modernize traditional costumes. The brimless hat did not get in the way of a Muslim's daily prayers and was cleaner and less cumbersome than the turban. The name fez is believed to come from Fez, the city, which once produced the hat's red dye, made from crimson berries.

In some regions, the fez was historically considered the "hat of the oppressors" and wearing it was deemed politically incorrect. Morocco however has resisted the onslaught against the fez (it is noteworthy that the Ottomans never actually controlled Morocco) and the king of Morocco is the only Arab leader to wear it. Wearing a fez in Morocco is a nationalist statement and was seen as a protest against the French occupation. So, like many hats, the fez is a charged symbol with a long and complicated history. In modern America, we associate the fez with the Shriners, Abu from Aladdin, or Akbar and Jeff of the "Life Is Hell" comic strip.

Ten-gallon hat : (see cowboy hat) A good description of this hat supplied courtesy of "The phrase "ten-gallon hat" is a bit of folksy humor which is often carried out through exaggeration. The 1880's saw the crowns of hats get taller and larger, but by the 1920's even those hats seemed smaller by comparison. The movies were coming in to great vogue in the 20's, and on-screen stars wanted to appear larger than life. As in most things, the rest of the people followed their lead to enormous hats. Hence the epithet "ten-gallon hat" to show its size could hold ten gallons of water. Like all folklore, no one knows who originated the phrase, but it stuck. The Stetson Company put out an advertising poster showing a cowboy watering his horse out of his hat. The phrase plays upon that, or the poster plays upon the phrase, I'm not sure which.

That would be easy to figure by dating the poster." Or the other explanation: Almost proverbial is the ten-gallon hat worn by Americans in the "Old West," particularly so in Texas. Its description is taken to refer to its enormous size, which would conform with all the other Texan superlatives. The implication, of course, is that the hat was so large that it could be filled with ten gallons of liquid. This is an error due to a linguistic "mix-up." In this case the gallon is not the unit of capacity, but the Spanish 'galon' for "braid." The hat is not Texan at all but stems from Mexico. When Spaniards occupied the country, they wore sombreros because the wide brims protected their faces from the burning sun. Spaniards' love of beauty made them embellish this utilitarian brim with braid. The more of it they used the happier they were. Some men thus wore a hat with ten different braids. Very accurately and without exaggeration, it was a 'ten galon hat'. When the Americans adopted the Spanish head covering, they acquired its Spanish name as well.

Continuing to call it a ten gal(l)on hat, the Spanish ('galon') braid was soon misunderstand and mistaken for the liquid measure. This created the ten-gallon hat. source"Websters World Encyclopedia 1999" Tip: The top part of the crown. Top hat : Man's tall cylindrical hat with a narrow brim, made of silk plush.
