That thingy on the sweatband in the back

[funneman]

Evening Ladies and Gents,

I'm sure this has been covered before but....

...what the heck do you call that little thread or ribbon "fluer de lis" looking thing near the size tag over the seam on the sweatband inside the hat?

 

[Mr_Misanthropy]

I call it "The little ribbon thingy that reminds me which end of my hat goes on the back of my head."

I hope this helps. [huh]

Bow ties

At one time you could loosen or tighten your sweat band using the bow tie since it was built into the sweat band... It seems today its used to finish the sweat band off more for looks than function... or so i'm told.

and another flap

Not to send your original question in a different direction, but I have two hats with an extra flat flap on the backside of the sweatband. One of them states it's a secret place to slip a little paper money. Clever! (Unless it's a windy day).

¬°Corona! por favor...

Hey, scotrace...

Thanks! I'll bet I can win one heck of a lotta "free beer" bar bets by knowing the word puggaree.

Thanks, I was kinda wondering what that little bow thing was all about too.

My service cap has one too.

....now that you mention it, I seem to remember that word on some kind of vocabulary quiz.

Hey Nick Danger, Ever talk to Susan Underhill, Melonie Haber, Nancy?

You were told right. The bow tie is used more now as a marker for the center of the back of the hat. I am told it helps line up the block.

Regards,
