Presented by Fez & Compass International
The Shriner fez is more than a ceremonial hat — it’s a badge of honor, tradition, and unity worn with pride by members of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. Whether you’re a new initiate or a longtime Noble replacing a well-worn fez, choosing the right one is important.
At Fez & Compass International, we understand the heritage and symbolism behind every fez we craft. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know before buying your Shriner fez — from style to sizing, and even storage.
🎩 1. Understand the Significance of the Fez
The Shriner fez is a red felt hat with a black tassel and the distinctive Shriner emblem. It’s worn during ceremonial events, parades, meetings, and official functions to represent membership and unity within the Shrine fraternity. Wearing it correctly and proudly is a long-held tradition across temples and courts around the world.
📏 2. Choose the Correct Size
A well-fitting fez is both comfortable and dignified. Fez sizes typically follow standard hat sizing (in inches or cm).
How to measure:
- Use a soft measuring tape
- Wrap it around your head just above the ears and across the mid-forehead
- Don’t pull it too tight — the fez should rest snugly without slipping
Common sizes range from:
Small (6¾) to XL (7¾+)
Fez & Compass Tip: If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more relaxed fit.
✨ 3. Pick Your Tassel Style
Most Shriner fezzes come with a standard black tassel, but in some jurisdictions or temples, other colors (like white or gold) may be used for officers or special ranks. Always confirm with your temple if there are specific tassel requirements.
At Fez & Compass International, all our tassels are made from durable, high-quality materials that maintain their shape and swing proudly at events.
🪡 4. Consider Custom Embroidery
Make your fez truly yours with personalization options such as:
- Your name or title
- Temple name
- Embroidered borders or jewels
Custom fezzes are especially popular for officers or long-serving members. Our embroidery is done in-house with precision and respect for the symbolism of each element.
📦 5. Think About Storage and Maintenance
Your fez is a symbol of honor — protect it accordingly. Fez & Compass offers a full line of fez cases and tassel holders to keep your regalia in pristine condition.
Care tips:
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Avoid crushing the tassel or felt
- Spot clean gently — never machine wash
