HEADGEAR CHANGES!
MARK TURK ERAS!
l
Me First Outward Sign of j
Political Reform—Hat Now j
Displacing Fez.
:
‘ Huts anil history arejiot coupled
in most people's minds.” says a bulle- j
tm from the headquarters of the Na-,
tional Geographic Society uncut the j
recent efforts of Turkish leaders to
have the fez replaced by European
types of huts, "but in Turkey radical
changes in types of head coverings
have marked important historical de
velopments.
“When the Ottoman Turks came
down out of Central Asia as rough
riding plainsmen they are believed to
have worn the high, soft cap of
astrakhan wool known as the katpak
-a sort of little brother to the drum
major’s fuzzy, towering headpiece of i
today. The Turks have shown aj
tendency t<> take their reforms by j
: addon spurts, holding tenaciously to !
the latest innovation between times, i
I‘. -fore long after their arrival in j
;-nut hern Asia they had gone over!
bodily to the turltan of that region j
.and this remained the characteristic j
Turkish headgear for many centuries, j
Turban Told Hank.
"The turban became the complex
badge of rank and even profession in
Turkey at the height of its power.
From the snow-white turbans of the
-Moslem ecclesiastical dignitaries and
the huge piles with distinctive stripes
and shapes of the grand vizier and
lesser political lights, these head cov
erings ranged down to the dirty cloths
wound round the heads of the peas
• ' nfs. Every good Turk during this
era had the profoundest contempt
for things European, and the hat was
'he badge of the infidel. One of the
g; cutest insults that could be offered
to a Turk who had shown too great '
friendliness toward ‘Franks’ was to
ii-id a hut to his door.
“The fez. which has been associated
i the minds of the lust few genera
tions with .ill things Turkish, cante as
one of the sudden Turkish reforms
i 'datively a short time ago. Sultan
-Mahmoud 11. who ruled during the
early years of the nineteenth century,
wished, like Peter the Great of Russia,
to modernize his people and turn their
thoughts from Asia. He decreed that
his people should abandon the turban
end wear the fez. doubtless influenced
by the fact that the latter is at once
more modish and more convenient. He
coupled the fez with the introduction
of the frock coat for his courtiers and
the well dressed young Turk in gen
eral. and w;is cursed roundly by most
<>f his people as 'the infidel sultan.'
The use of the fez continued, however,
to such good advantage that within a
generation or so it was looked upon
by the outside world, and no doubt hy
ruost Turks, as the distinctive age-old
Turkish head covering.
Brims Hindered Prayer.
“Why Mahmoud settled on the fez j
as the particular type of head cover i
lng to replace the turban is hard to
understand. Most of his reforms I
looked toward westernization. But
something very like the fez was worn |
by the ancient Assyrians and Hittites.
and it is supposed to have come down
to modern times through the Byzan
tines and the Greeks. One thing in
its favor was its lack of a brim. So
king as the Turks were devout Mos
lems. practicing their prostrations at
prayer time, brims were not permis
sible, since they interfered with the
touching of the forehead to the
ground.
"After the World War. when a rev
olution became successful in Turkey,
the leaders at first turned back to the
ancient kalpak of the original Turks.
This head covering became popular
as signifying a return to the virtues
of the old stock, and was worn by all
people of prominence in the new
regime.
"Like all the other changes in head
coverings, the most recent move in
favor of the straw and fedora of
Western Europe has its significance.
The caliphate has been abolished, the
Mohammedan religion has been re
moved from its place of power in gov
ernment and there is no more reason
why a Turk should not wear a brim
if he chooses than an Italian or an
, Englishman. And the movements
that accompany this Europeanization
of head coverings is significant.
Polygamy has been abolished, women |
..re encouraged to abandon the veil,
marriages are to be civil only, and an
entirely new code of laws, modeled
largely after European systems, is
being drafted. The Turk is not only
changing his hat, he is making him
self over cap-a-pie.”
