#105 The Ganesha Fez

#105 The Ganesha Fez

Mighty Ganesha, Lord of Success and Destroyer of Obstacles finally gets his own fez! This is one of those designs that had been in my mind for a long time. I have always loved the symbolism of Ganesha (or Ganesh) and not just because he rode around on the back of a rodent. Back on...
#91 The Mondotini 2 Fez

#91 The Mondotini 2 Fez

This week’s fez sees the return of a much requested design. Fez of the Week #39 the Mondotini was first created as a very Limited Edition run on black velvet way back in 2010 for the Mondo Lounge 3 weekend in Vegas.  I had originally wanted to do this on the maroon velvet you see...
It's Fezbruary!

It’s Fezbruary!

Yes that’s right, it is once again that time of year… the month where we cram two words together just because they share a few letters. So yeah, it’s Fezbruary and that means it’s time to give away a fez! It’s the return of Fez Fridays! If you don’t know what Fez Friday is then...
#79 Skull & Bones v4.0

#79 Skull & Bones v4.0

I just can’t get away from this design! Our classic Skull & Bones returns as yet another variant, this time on Ruby Red velvet! This design was actually part of the original concept sketches I did 20 years ago when we first came up with the idea of Fez-o-rama. It was also one of the...
#78 The Freedonian Elite

#78 The Freedonian Elite

This week we are introducing a special variant of our Freedonian Fez. The The Freedonian Elite Fez is the headgear of choice of the Freedonian Elite Guards… that or it was the hat worn by Firefly’s backroom poker cronies. Honestly we aren’t very clear on our fictional histories… or is that historic fictions. What we...
#75 The Mystic Order of Elder Gods Fez

#75 The Mystic Order of Elder Gods Fez

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em… or at least form an organization to worship them in the hope to be first in line for the Great Devouring. As you may have noticed I enjoy designing new fezzes for the various events we take part in. So you can imagine my excitement when we made...

Clockwork Returns!

Clockwork Returns!

Just in time for that last minute shopping! Our Clockwork design returns for a third round on yet another type of velvet. This time we have a soft brown velvet with a pebbled texture that makes for one comfy fez. This is also the first of the Clockworks to be featured on our new Mark...

The FEZ Fez returns!

One of our very early Low Profile designs returns for a limited run as in tall!  The “FEZ” fez The FEZ Fez was from our first batch of fezzes and has been retired for many years. As part of our Spring Cleaning initiative I decided to bring it back for a short run for those...

Spring Cleaning: The End is Nigh!

After another weekend of sewing we are nearly done with our Spring Cleaning initiative. What started out to be a way of organizing our shelves before we started cutting more fabric turned into an epic, month-long marathon of fez production. Anyone that has followed this blog in the past knows that we make our fezzes...

Well you asked for it comrade, so now here it is. The Hammer and Sickle that was originally made for a very special purpose and returned as Fez of the Week #32 is back again and now we are happy to offer you the new Hammer and Sickle Deluxe on… Red velvet of course! These...

Robot Overlords have returned!

The heartless ( but surprisingly efficient) Robots have returned to oppress us with their superior sense of order! Our only recourse: Silly hats! See, their logic circuits will be overwhelmed as they try to make sense of our jaunty chapeaus celebrating their arrival whilst we undermine their objectives by looking swanky! …OK, so I haven’t...
