I have used various ploys, safety pins, sewing, lacing through punched holes - not glue - not yet - to keep the layers from moving out of alignment.

Military berets have a strip of leather sewn into the brim, a tongue pointing upwards, for the same purpose.

The beret I was issued with had a square of thick cardboard to hold things in place. I do recall someone in a previous discussion about balmoral bonnets and clan pins noting that this is a great use for your expired gift cards. Cut to size, put a couple of strategically-placed holes through it ... et voila!
