#42 The Don’t Panic! Fez
This week’s fez is inspired by the two greatest words of modern literature as written by one of my favorite authors. Douglas Adams was a giant among humorists, SciFi authors and well, human beings. The guy was rather tall. Beyond being a great influence on me and my sense of humor I would like to...
#32 The Soviet Deluxe Fez
The Soviet Deluxe Fez Prototype Low Profile Fez – 6 colors on Dark Red Wavy Velvet The Soviet Deluxe Fez is a prototype of a revisit to a past design. The original Soviet Fez was made exclusively for Gio Corsi for his Mr Ambassador character on the Tiki Bar TV podcast. We’ve gotten a few...
Week #31 The Proto Moko Monkey
This is one of those designs that jumps on the fast track before I even know what it is going to look like. I had been working on a couple of new Monkey and Tiki designs when a few random sketches lead to what you see here. I quickly prototyped it just to see if...
Hei Tiki Too!
It’s the return of the Hei Tiki fez. Actually this was another color test of the Hei Tiki on the green fabric. We’ve had it sitting in a box for a good long time now. Since we decided to go with the Honu design on the green fabric this will likely be the only one...

Bonus Fez – Maltese Cross with Spike
Over the next few days we will be listing a few fezzes that we have that are not currently on the site. While these are not really “fez of the week” projects they are available at the discounted price and are limited to what we have on hand. First off we have a Maltese Cross...
The Orchid Fez
While not technically a Fez of the Week as we actually made 13 of them I would have presented it as one if I had the time prior to Tiki Oasis. This was actually designed, engineered and sewn in the 5 days leading up to the event. Now is your chance to grab one before...
Week 24 – The Baboon Fez!
We’re back on the primate theme. I had to resist the urge to do this one in April and commit myself to limiting the monkey thing to only once a month. To be honest, I didn’t set out to make a bunch of simian fezzes when I started all of this but I have learned...
Week 23 – The Honu Fez!
Here is my spin on the somewhat traditional Hawaiian Sea Turtle design. Of course it is a combination of Polynesian styles as only a haole like myself would think of as traditional, but I really enjoy exploring symbols that have lasted for generations and seeing where I can insert my design aesthetic. This is one...
Week 7 – The Maltese Cross Proto-Fez!
This week’s fez is actually a prototype on two fronts. First this is the original color test for the Maltese Cross Fez featuring a cream pinstripe as opposed to the black on the production ones. It is also the first test of a tassel alternative. Check out this Kustom Fez featuring a 1″ chrome spike...
Week 4 – The UPC Fez Prototype!
This is one of those ideas that has been around for some time and I just needed to see if it could be done. My hope is to be able to offer this as a semi-custom fez where people could order the UPC number of their choice. This is the number to scale ratio that...
