I took the fez out for a spin at Santa Rosa JC first day of classes, and it proved to be unique within those ivied halls. A few days later, I went down to San Francisco to dine with my visiting parents, and wore my fez down Union Street (So ritzy don'tcha know) and turned heads. Perhaps they thought I was King Farouk.
The fez has held up well, though it's a bit on a cat hair magnet, but women seem to like that. I had worried that I might not be able to wear it in my car, but with a seat adjust and the sunroof open, no problem.
