fez hat

Red felt cylinder

A fez hat is a flat-topped, brimless felt cap shaped like a truncated cone, typically red with a black tassel hanging from the crown.

The term is redundant—a fez is already a hat—but appears in casual speech when the speaker wants to specify the style: He wore a fez hat to the costume party.
