Interview: Jason Rogers, Fez-o-rama

With one of his custom designed fezzes sitting comfortably on my head, I got Jason Rogers on the Skype horn today to find out the story behind the fezmonger and Fez-o-rama.

Some are born to the fez, others are called. I believe Jason falls into the latter group. I was surprised --don't ask me why-- to learn that Jason is trained in fashion design and might have written a text book or two.

I asked him about celebrity clients, his favorite designs, The Cult of the Eye, his fictional partner, "Joe," and ukuleles.

The interview runs about 25 minutes (Download MP3 ) and there are a couple of places where the audio got weird because a) the Skype connection was iffy or b) Jason walked into his cavernous, marble-floored Hall of the Fez.

Jason is the newest member of The Royal and Exalted Order of the Fez.
