Fezzes were a form of headwear common among men of all social classes in the land of Zakhara.[2]
Description[]
A fez was a short felt hat that had a round, conical shape with a flat top, with most standing at a height of around 6 inches (0.15 meters). Tassels that were roughly as long as the fez itself hung from the hat's crown. Red with a black tassel was the most common coloration of fez,[3] though others were prevalent.[2]
Prices[]
In the bazaars of Zakhara, a fez could generally be bought for around five copper pieces to two silver pieces, depending upon how well one haggled.[4]

Regions & Settlements[]
- Among the Free Cities of Zakhara, those of the middle and upper classes preferred to wear them instead of keffiyehs and turbans.[2] When the upper class did wear turbans they would wrap them around a fez instead of a skullcap,[10] since it made them appear taller, rounder, and overall more impressive.[3]
- Each of the Free Cities of Zakhara had an official color that was represented in the clothing of most inhabitants, including fezzes.[2] For instance, the inhabitants of Muluk were known to wear purple fezzes, those of Utaqa wore white, and those of Hafayah wore black.[11]
- In the Free City of Liham, red was the unofficial color and was considered fashionable for fezzes.[12]
- The inhabitants of the Free City of Qadib were known for wearing yellow fezzes, dyed from the pigment Uther.[13]
