It doesn't take a line of three-question-format reasoning to realize the sheer superiority of your headgear.

Trivia

  • The fez is a brimless hat, commonly made from felt and originating in Greece. The Familiar Fez resembles the North African style, being taller than its Balkan counterpart.
  • The hat is a reference to Mustafa, one of Dr. Evil's henchmen in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
    • In the film, Austin says to Mustafa, "I don't recall your name, but your fez is familiar". [1].
    • The artwork used for the pack's Polycount entry image was a recreation of a still of Mustafa in the same pose, and the creator has admitted to watching Austin Powers a week prior to designing the pack.
    • The entry's description mentions a "line of three question-format reasoning." In the film, Mustafa was unable to withhold answers after being asked the same question three times, because it irritated him.
