It is a pleasing symmetrical shape.

To be honest, I don't really feel one way or the other about fez's, sorry man.

Only good on Turks and Arabs, look silly on Europeans like Mussolini who wore one.

I don't think so Tim.jpg

>>2909127
It seems they're used to be more widely worn in ME, now it's only the kefiyeh surviving, what happened?

>>2909151
I guess fashion just changed, people ditched their suits and fezs in the ME for American clothes or thawbs and kefiyehs. Also as the ME gradually distanced themselves from past ottoman rule they eventually stopped wearing Turkish fashion.

Also Turkey banned the fez for a time.

>>2909073
This. Good way to tell if somebody is a Turk is if they think a fez is anything but stupid looking.

Erdogan's not as inclusive as the Ottoman Padishahs were.

>>2910678

Couldn't agree more

>>2909073
this

look retarded.

>>2910642
on this point, it's actually surprising how progressive and modern late ottoman empire was, especially under the influence of France/Germany

Abdulhamid literally made one of the most effective beurocracies and education systems for a backward shithole. unfortunately this education system also gave rise to the Young Turks and Ataturk, who used their education to destroy the empire's progressive policies and literally commit genocide

>inb4 ataturk is innocent
he genocided kurds and alevis at dersim, and took part in various campaigns involving the genocide of greeks and assyrians.

>>2909031
Because you're so used to the west only foreign will titilate you
>>2909073
This guy gets it, so many cool western designs

>>2909031
They look dorky as hell. The least intimidating thing you could wear.

I dunno, are they?

>>2909151
Ottoman empire collapsed and the fez was viewed as the hat of the "oppressor".
