Got my Xmarks pin.

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}

[Dreadbelly]

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.

[Dreadbelly]

Oh.

How does it look from the inside if you don't mind me asking?

[Warlock]

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!

[Dreadbelly]

Ah, a backing. I see. That is a brilliant idea.

[Warlock]

here ya go.

[Warlock]

the pins are right at the top edge, where the side meets the top.

Then don't use a matching tartan and be proud that it shows through.

[Dreadbelly]

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.
