@ ErikM, personally I think you look great. Is your bonnet knit or sewn? My only suggestions would be to GET DIRTY and perhaps invest in a custom made dirk. Pricey I know! There are a few sources out there making correct hand dyed knit bonnets, including myself, www.barkertownsutlers.com is another option for you and I understand that www.dirtybillyshats.com is now offering bonnets as well but they are not on the website.

@ Nick, Bonnets were worn according to personal preference. In most images we see them either simply atop the head or slouched forward in flat cap style. I prefer mine cocked to the side because I find it more comfortable. I am not familiar with Ryan Ross's bonnets but most modern bonnets are sewn rather than knit and synthetically dyed. Bonnets of the period were always hand knit, felted and dyed with indigo or woad. I hand knit and hand dye all of my bonnets. Hope that helps some what!

Here are some pics of some period correct bonnets I have made. Please forgive my utterly terrible photography skills.
