the fez has always struck me as a very impractical head garment. It's worn in hot countries, so you don't need it to keep your bonce warm yet it provides no protection from the sun. Just don't get it. Bit like bowler hats in that respect.

I believe its primary purpose is stylistic rather than functional.

My top fact is that the Fez was made illegal in Turkey in 1925.

just as well we never gigged playing Nightboat to Cairo there then.

I like that the only thing that concerns you about wearing a promotional fez is the type of font used. Presumably you are otherwise quite used to wearing a fez?

not specifically a Fez,  but more that ok with wearing any silly head-gear.

Why not ?

EDIT - 

I see the writing has changed.  much better.

I'd totally have one of those now.

You could just print your own onto sticky paper and plonk it on a comedy Fez.

just trying to correlate someone who wont wear a black t shirt but will wear a fez but that may be about my own failure of imagination.

If I'm going to wear a fez (and it seems inevitable that I am) then it should be of good quality. Maybe I'll make my own.

Simple!

Fez - awesome
Black T-shirt - boresome.

See?

whats to correlate ?

black t-shirts are boring, and stereotypically associated with  'hey I rawk'  beavis and butthead types,   

Where, Fez's are fun and associated with one of the finest comedians ever to walk the planet.

I could wear a fez I think, would prefer a bowler or mebbe a derby.

I don't see any reason why a gentleman should not own multiple hats.

Come to think of it, I don't even see any reason why you should not own multiple hats.

Errrrmmmmm ... I'm not changing everything NOW !!!

Sporky

I thought the t-shirts were going to be grey? Grey is fine. This is one of those unusual occasions where grey is significantly less boring than black.

Besides, I thought you'd decided to ignore the rest of the thread and just get on with things?

TTony

That's OK then, I let you off.

Dark Grey.  Without wanting to spill too many beans here, the lighter grey just didn't work as a background colour, not with any of the foreground colours that we've used here.  And as Black is boresome, I've gone for dark grey.

And if I could find an "unsubscribe" button for this thread, I would !!

There are a lot of things in life for which I would like an "unsubscribe" button.

Can't you just click on the yellow star?

That would stop it from being a bookmarked discussion, but I'd still get the alerts about new posts (I think?)

I own multiple hats, 4 to be precise, and I get away with it. I do however need to own a Fez.
