I was afraid of that. I had a less pronounced crease to the right at first but it looked a bit odd due to the prominent slouch.

I'm going to add a cockade to the side. Probably not a 4" square cockade, just a simple one made from 1 1/2" grosgrain like the following but in black, white, and red (for MacQueen) - see photo below.

Or I might make a Jacobite cross similar to this painting:

I will probably also add a toorie from the same yarn. My prior bonnets do not include one, but deep blue color of this one feels like it should.
