1940s Fez
RARE!!! 1940's Fez from Angora in Turkey imported for J.E Reihing Seattle.
Initially a symbol of Ottoman modernity, the fez over time came to be seen as part of an "Oriental" cultural identity. Seen as exotic and romantic in the west, it enjoyed a vogue as part of men's luxury smoking outfit in the United States and the United Kingdom in the decades surrounding the turn of the 20th century. From the mid-19th century on the fez was widely adopted as the headdress of locally recruited soldiers. (Thank you Wikipedia)
