Which is the meaning of the fez in lounge culture? - Beyond Tiki

So a few months back I purchased a fez at an antique market. It is a genuine Shriner's fez from the Al Malaikai Shrine in Los Angeles. I bought it with the express intent of wearing it at Tiki events. What I'd like to know from people with more knowledge on such subjects than I, is if that is kosher? Or is it the equivalent of wearing a Roman collar and not being a priest? It is in truly excellent condition, complete with the tassel pin, I'd hate to leave it sitting on a shelf. But on the other hand, I would in no way want to take anything from the hard work and diligence that the members of the Shrine do in the community. Any thoughts?
