: ...a fez is a red felt cylindrical brimless hat with a black tassel originally associated with Fez, Morocco, but generally associated with the Eastern Mediterranean (especially under the Turkish Empire).
There is historical precedent for Americans wearing fezes. During the Civil War several regiments, both North and South, dressed as zouaves.
It does not seem entirely suited for the remote Pacific. It is not suited for anywhere.
