The monkey from Aladdin wearing a fez, fezes are like 1800s stuff rifles were used when monkeys wore fezes.

    No one says Agrabah isn't an isolated desert city state while next door the Ottomans are shooting Greek nationalists and doing the Armenian genocide

    I’ll have to find it, but there was a YouTube video that said the geographic and temporal range of Allison was like if Disney had a movie about a mythical “European” city that encompasses everything from Ancient Greece to the Renaissance.

    berdly-actually While it's true that fezzes as we now known (And in the form, say, Aladdin himself wears one) and as a part of Ottoman official dress only became a thing much later, the fez as a piece of clothing date back much further. Mehmed II is very famously depicted wearing one. (As in, the depiction of him is famous, not that the fact that he is wearing a fez is a famous fact about the depiction)

    "BUT KELD. THAT'S A TURBAN."
    I can already hear you protest. Yes, you're right. A turban wrapped around a fez. Because that's how fezzes were worn initially.
