The fez was last decade's Tiki fashion trend. It's "old hat" now, ha ha. If you want to be on the Tiki cutting edge for the 2010's (has anyone even noticed?), GET A SOMBRERO !! Unlike the fez, there is a documented historic Tiki link to this headwear... Also the iconography and sound of Exotica music arguably morphed towards this aesthetic... Forward thinking artists like Wendy Cevola are ahead of the curve on this... And you know that Tiki Oasis is going "South of the Border" this year, don't get left behind. Trade in that tired old fez for a sombrero !! [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2011-03-31 00:12 ]
