There's always a class clown. No matter the century.
I just wanted to show everyone that not all photographs taken at Civil War Reenactments are serious and bereft of joy. The young boy mugging at the camera in the earlier post's group picture is not alone.
The "fez" is a smoking cap - or, for those of us who do not smoke - a lounging cap (something I am well adapt in). Many (?) of us gentlemen (?) wear them at the end of the day around the camp. The tackier, the louder, the better. Historically correct, I've found many period photographs justifying their existence atop our heads. We're growing in numbers. The first rule of hat club, one claims, is that we don't talk about hat club. I think we look pretty darned dapper.

What's the deal with your fez? Does it have something to do with the civil war or do you just carry one around in case you need it?
