Flat Water Bob 1 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 How do you secure a double tassel hatband to your hat. Just drawing/pulling the two tassels doesn't seem to hold it in place. Link to post Share on other sites
Cascade Charlie, SASS # 48668L 0 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I find that a discreet dab (in several places around the hat) of super glue holds it in place real well. YMMV Cascade Charlie Link to post Share on other sites
Blackwater 53393 5,697 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Wal Mart and many hobby stores have a product called Fabric Tac that works really well. I use it in my hat business for just that purpose among others. Link to post Share on other sites
Fairshake 13 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Keeps You from bending over and leaving that hatband on the ground. Just make sure you don't smear the felt. Link to post Share on other sites
Holden A. Grudge 0 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 If you don't mind putting holes in your hat where they may not be already you could get one of the adjustable chin straps that loops around the cord like in the current cavalry stetsons. Otherwise the above listed methods will work. Link to post Share on other sites
Colorado Coffinmaker 3,454 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Couple of little dabs of "White Glue" that dries clear, or couple little dabs of contact cement. With the contact cement, only put little dabs on one article. Put a dab on both pieces and it gets sorta permanent. 10 Penny nails are a mite uncomfortable Coffinmaker Link to post Share on other sites
Subdeacon Joe 25,947 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Use a fine needle and matching thread to stitch it on at two or three points. Link to post Share on other sites

Sacramento Johnson #6873 53 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Howdy! Subdeacon Joe is right; sew it on. I use a needle and matching thread (a heavy duty coat or rug thread). Fold the leather sweat liner out of the way and stitch to the inside of the hat; usually 4 places. Don't worry if you put it through the satin liner. I don't make the thread loops real tight as I want the hat band to be able to give just a bit, as the hat does; for instance, if you need to scrunch it down tightly on your head for some reason.

Hashknife Cowboy 481 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 How do you secure a double tassel hatband to your hat. Just drawing/pulling the two tassels doesn't seem to hold it in place. one stitch of kevlar thread from my fly tying box in four places. Stitch on the underside of the hatband thru an existing hole made during the assembly of the hat and no one will ever know..... Link to post Share on other sites
