Taking a cue from the Venerable Laird Hamish, Mine will have a place of Honour on my magnificent Dreadbelly B-17 Bulletproof Tam! {whew, that was a mouthful!}
Trying to post pics again. {my son is sick and looks it in pics}
Will the band even support something that heavy? I hadn't thought of trying that. Hrmm. You'd have cold metal against your scalp I think. **Scratches head** I'd like to figure out some kind of liner for the hat but worry about the fabric peeking through the weave. How does it look on there? Could I get a picture? It would be helpful to the design process.
Oh. How does it look from the inside if you don't mind me asking?
Dread, I took a small piece of leather about the same size as the pin and punched two small hoels in it. the leather is dark brown, so it shouldn't show through. Wait a mo and I'll post a pick. Quite comfy!
Ah, a backing. I see. That is a brilliant idea.
here ya go.
the pins are right at the top edge, where the side meets the top.

Man, that olive green is lovely. I need to order more and make me a hat some time. No metal pokey bits in the noggin? I'd worry about those snagging my dreadlocks.
