Secondly, re-manufacture the grosgrain ribbon bow so that it is very securely attached to the hat. If you stitch it so that there is an opening at the bottom (an upside down pocket) the badge could be securely attached and not flop forward.

Your first thought is very much what I have been thinking myself. I am not sure I understand the second. How would this keep the clasps from coming off the pins?
