Originally from Ancient Greece, the fez has almost gone around the world. It can be found in the history of Europe, the Arab world and South and Southeast Asia. And it is still common to wear it in the Arab world. Used by soldiers or musicians the fez has a very varied history which allows us to say that this hat has a real authenticity

At the beginning, we could find several colours of fez, such as blue or black, but these last ones have disappeared. Today, all fez are red. It is said that its shade of red comes from a special tree: the wild dogwood
