Introducing the Fez-o-Chapeau!

10 years in the making and after much fussing and teasing, it is finally time to introduce our new hat style. Way back in the previous century I started making fezzes for my friends. That first Christmas it was 8 fezzes for the guys, many of whom I had known for well over a decade. As I continued to make a fez here and there as birthday gifts throughout the year I started getting asked if I was going to make fezzes for the girlfriends. Since I had already been making fezzes for the guys, I wanted to do something...

#86 The Steam Crow Fez

After a long delay I am finally getting back to old Fez of the Week project. This week’s fez is a preview of our next collaborative fez project and features the artwork of our friend and incredibly talented illustrator, Daniel Davis. Daniel and his lovely wife Dawna, are the talent behind Steam Crow and have published books, designed a prolific series of art prints and created all sorts of cool things for their shop. We are thrilled to be a small part of their creative endeavors. What you see here is the prototype for a Limited Edition fez we will...

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.

At the end of the month we will draw one random winner from the eligible entries and...

If you are joining us at Tiki Oasis be sure to swing by the Fez-o-booth Saturday, and if you are in the San Diego stop by on Sunday. Vending will...

#71 The Kanaloa Chapeau

Tiki Oasis Preview #8 Wait Chapeau? Yes, you read that correctly. We’re entering a whole new category of hat here. This cap is based on a hat I did way back in 1997 as part of my design thesis collection. While it was just an accessory it became one of my favorite details. Some of you may recognize it as the style of hat I used for the Cult of the Eye’s WOE Chapeau –hence the use of the sloppy French. After getting a number of requests to make some of these for public consumption I decided it was time...
