I estimate where my hatpin will go, and I place a bobby pin in my hair in that location. Then once I've put the hat on over it, I can run the hatpin under the bobby pin. It lasts all day and locks everything in place.

@@dawn8293 Humidity is a major buzz kill. 🌡 In SoCal we typically have a dry blistering heat sometimes year round where only the lightest summer hats will do. I can only stand to wear beloved wool hats a few brisk Fall or Winter Days. ☂️ Parasols can be pretty & come in handy ☀️.

Thread elastic through teeth of two small combs. Attach one on each sides of hat. Pull down on elastic looped combs while placing hat on head. Invert combs and insert, teeth up, into hair. The tension of the elastic, anchored by the combs in the hair, keep the hat in place.

Thank you for bringing this back! Hat pins used to be used by ladies for self defense (ex on trains against handsy men). There's even a quote from Roosevelt about the wrath of women with hat pins 🙂. Having hat pins made women feel safer traveling alone and was a symbol of female independence.

Those are great tips however I would recommend using the little Combs in the front of the hat because then it works with gravity. This is one way we secure hats just like these for theatrical productions. It's also important (to preserve the hairstyle) to put the hat on front first then secure the back, and when you remove it, unsecure the back first then the front and remove it I that same direction because it won't mess up your hair. (Or dislodge the wig which is what you seeing about 90% of period plays and films.) and

These are wonderful tips. The elastic doesn't work for me any longer as my hair is too thin and short now (cancer issues), so the band just pops right up the back of my head. But but the hat pins and combs are wonderful. A site called Victorian trading company sells vintage replica hat pins, but joanns fabric sells the blanks if you would rather make your own. They come in a silver r gold tone finish, usually between 5-7 inches long, 2-3 per package, with safety covers included. Bulk ones can be bought via walmart online, or stay and similar sites.
