Wait. Another update? Woah.

I know. I know! I can hardly believe it myself. Here we are, just two months since our previous update and we have another one. You must have been very good fez fans this summer! In a rare twist, we have four new fezzes to add the museum. So, we thought “why not do an update?” Why not, indeed.

Our first updated exhibit is over in the Animal Lodges area, where you can find a new Elks fez, dating from the earliest years of the organization.

Next, swing by the Sciots exhibit to check out our new Sciots Band Member fez.

You can follow that up with a stop by the Shriners exhibit to check out the most adorable children’s souvenir fez – just like the kind you’d buy at the circus as a souvenir.

Last, but certainly not least, check out our Clandestine Groups exhibit, where we’ve added an unusual white Shriners fez… or is it? You’ll have to read the details to learn more!

We hope everyone has had a great summer and look forward to many fezzy fall adventures. Be well!

Bi-Annual Update Time

We know, we know. It’s been far too long since you’ve had an update. But, you’re in luck. Because you’re reading this. Which means we did an update. See. Now quit complaining and get reading!

After our months long hiatus, we’re back with six new fezzes added to the collection.

We’ll start off at the Shriners Exhibit, where we have added two fezzes from Irem Shriners, one being a quite unusual white fez.

In keeping with the Shrine theme, pop on by our Shrine Ladies exhibit, where we’ve added two new Ladies Oriental Shrine of North America fezzes, including another Past Grand High Priestess fez.

Completing the Shrine trifecta, we’ve also added a PHA Shriners fez from Pyramid No. 1.

Of course, we couldn’t do an update with just Shrine items, so we also added a Dramatic Order Knights of Omar piece for you to check out.

Stay cool, fezzy friends!

Happy New Year!

Surprise – we’re still alive!

We decided to start 2023 with an update to the museum, albeit a small one. Our collecting has slowed recently as there just hasn’t been as many unique pieces to snag as we’d like. But, we still continue to look and buy when we can.

Today’s update brings you three new fezzes – two from Shriners International and one from a Masonic Affinity group. The Shriners fezzes are both unique and unusual examples of white Shriners fezzes, coming from Abou Saad and Algeria Shrines, respectively. The Scandinavian Craft Club fez has been added to our collection as well – and if you know anything more about it, we’d love to hear from you!

Summer Time // Fun Time Update

It’s been over 6 months since our last update, and we know that you are just jonesing for some new fezzy goodness. Today’s update brings 11 new fezzes into the collection for you to enjoy.

Stop by the Knights of Omar exhibit to check out a new addition to this rare collection.

The Grotto display also got an update, with a sweet Big Six fez from the famous marching unit.

Pythian fans can rejoice with an update to the Knights of Khorassan area. The question is, why is the tassel red – you decide!

Two new fezzes were added to the IOOF Social Bodies exhibit – one from the OOH&P and another early AMOS example.

Last, but certainly not least, are several additions to our Shriners exhibit, including odd variations of the Shrine logo from Zamora Shriners and Moolah Shriners, as well as examples from Islam Shriners, Zem Zem Shriners, and a very special Grand Master’s fez from Jaffa Shriners.

We hope you are having a great summer and look forward to our next update!

What?!? Another update? That’s preposterous!

Fez wearing, cigarette smoking man, with rabbit, in the ma… | FlickrYes, friends, you read right. We are back with another (small) fezzy update. You see, your faithful fezzy friend has come down with the 2022 ick and has found himself with some time on his hands. We had three fezzes that weren’t posted before, so now seemed like a great time to get them added to the museum. We hope you enjoy!

Strut on over to the Animal Lodges display to check out a new not-quite-a-fez from the Fraternal Order of Orioles. At least with think it’s from the Orioles. You can decide.

Our other two pieces are related to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. First up is a new Junior Lodge fez, a relative rarity in the IOOF fez collecting world. Also, we’ve added a new AMOS piece in the IOOF social bodies section. It’s an old Cahokia Sanctorum fez that is in amazing shape for its age.

Thank you for your continued interest and support!
