fez

Cone-shaped cap with a flat crown, of North African origin

The Fez, also called Tarboosh, is a felt headdress in the shape of a short cylindrical peakless hat, usually red, and sometimes with a tassel attached to the top. The name "Fez" refers to the Moroccan city of Fez, where the dye to colour the hat was extracted from crimson berries. The modern fez owes much of its popularity to the Ottoman era.
