ss maroon fez
Have you ever seen a maroon fez with a cream or white colored swet band.Last edited by travkoopmans; 04-17-2009, 06:54 PM.Comment

If you need a skull to restore a fez you need one with folded over selvage, or one with that is glued down onto the white cotton on the reverse--they made them this way by gluing the rectangular/square uncut skull onto a piece of cotton, then cutting it around the design of the skull shiney area of the black and then stitching--simply because some of the "tailors" (prisoners) were not adept at holding down the selvage and sewing, also possibly to give the insignia the bulgy look--two trains of thought...the one you have shown pictures of is a beauty but in my view simply good for a collection as a stand alone not for restoration of any sort...and I think if you do use that skull to restore any cap you are destroying the skull by adding holes...also keep in mind you have a great looking toned skull that saw action being applied to a fez that was likely a Dachau pickup...just not a good candidate.....but its your property do with it as you like...

Skull
I agree with John T above. The bevo skull in this thread was probably taken off an overseas cap or m-43 as it looks well worn and would look out-of-place on a fez. That coupled with the fact that it has no edge material left makes it a perfect candidate for the riker mount display case.Comment

According to my knowledge no prisoners at Dachau made any fezes. Dachau was just a clothing depot and not a manufacturing place.Originally posted by travkoopmans View PostComment
