Thanks, guys. This is always the best place for help.

But . . . and it's a big but! (Sorry. I couldn't help myself.)

I wanted to set up a tam that was like the pre-amalgamation tams worn by the regiment. They didn't have any badge or flash, just the hackle. Take a gander at this:



It appears that the hackle's wire loop is stuck into the fold of the sweatband, but I have no idea how it's fastened and held in place.

Heck, I have a tam from the old Highland Fusiliers, but darned if I now who it's tied down.

Help guys.
