    Tartan Flash on a Tam

    having seen photos of men wearing tams decorated with a tartan flash positioned wear a cap badge would typically be placed, i'm wondering what would be used to affix the flash to the cap? a hidden safety pin or a more decorative, prominent pin?

    thanks in advance.

    The flash is usually sewn down on the tam.

    Sounds interesting, I'd like to see a close up picture of what this looks like.

    My server is down so the photo in that link isn't showing up. I'm going to try to link to the same photo that I just uploaded to my XMarks Picture album. Here goes...
