In many of these areas, small monkeys were (and are) kept as pets, and the Fez is nothing more than a hat. The Fez only seems odd and mysterious to many us because of the Shriner/secret society connection. when you see someone in a bowler, you might think "nice hat", but when you see someone in a Fez, your mind is filled with images of secret handshakes, and strange rituals. if you saw a monkey in a cowboy hat, you would probably hardly notice, but if he was wearing the Fez, there must be something more to it..... Cheers! Tiki King. Wearing the Fez since 1994
