A '''fez''' was a type of brimless hat with a flat top  Usually made of red felt, fezzes typically, but not always, had a single tassel attached to the center of their flat tops. Judging from the number of times the Doctor encountered fezzzes around [[Egyptian]]s or Egyptian artifacts, the fez seemed to be closely associated with [[Arabic]] culture on [[Earth]].

== History ==

==== Early instances ====
When the [[Second Doctor]], [[Jamie McCrimmon]], and [[Zoe Heriot]] visited the [[Frenko Bazaar]], the store [[We Sell Hats]] had a fez, which the Doctor admired. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Bazaar Adventures (comic story)|Bazaar Adventures]]'') When they visited [[Alexandria]], he almost purchased a fez from a vendor, but his companions opined that it was not his style and so he left it for "another time". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Anti-Hero (short story)|The Anti-Hero]]'')
 
The [[Seventh Doctor]] briefly donned a fez while searching through the basement of [[Windsor Castle]], before passing it on to [[Ace]] (and also picked up a mop, for that matter). ([[TV]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'')


[[Ibrahim Namin]] wore a fez. ([[DW]]: ''[[Pyramids of Mars]]'')
The [[Eighth Doctor]] wore a fez to a [[football]] game in [[1977]]. He originally intended to land [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] near the [[River Nile]] which was why he wore the fez in the first place. The Doctor lost the fez soon after the [[police]] began to chase him from the stadium. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game]]'')

The [[Eleventh Doctor]] took a fez from an exhibit in the museum where the [[Pandorica]] was and wore it as he leapt back and forth through time. When [[River Song]] queried this by asking, "What in the name of sanity have you got on your head?" he answered, "It's a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool", much as he did when defending his [[tie|bow tie]]. [[River Song]] and [[Amy Pond]] promptly destroyed it, before continuing to reboot the universe.
