"The fez (Turkish: fes, plural fezzes or fezes), as well as its equivalent, the tarboosh (Arabic: \u0637\u0631\u0628\u0648\u0634\u200E / Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [t\u02E4\u0251\u027E\u02C8bu\u02D0\u0283], ALA-LC: \u1E6Darb\u016Bsh), is a felt hat of two types: either in the shape of a truncated cone made of red felt, or a short cylinder made of kilim fabric, both usually with a tassel attached to the top. The tarboosh and the modern fez, which is similar, owe much of their development and popularity to the Ottoman era."@en . . .
