Thank you for bringing this back! Hat pins used to be used by ladies for self defense (ex on trains against handsy men). There's even a quote from Roosevelt about the wrath of women with hat pins 🙂. Having hat pins made women feel safer traveling alone and was a symbol of female independence.
I estimate where my hatpin will go, and I place a bobby pin in my hair in that location. Then once I've put the hat on over it, I can run the hatpin under the bobby pin. It lasts all day and locks everything in place.
Evelyn Wood Yes! I have a short bob and live in Florida! You understand what heat and humidity can do! Yay!!! I'm so excited that you find that a helpful tip!
@@dawn8293 Humidity is a major buzz kill. 🌡 In SoCal we typically have a dry blistering heat sometimes year round where only the lightest summer hats will do. I can only stand to wear beloved wool hats a few brisk Fall or Winter Days. ☂️ Parasols can be pretty & come in handy ☀️.
You can also sew loops to either side of your hat, then attach to hair with bobby pins through the loops. Just found your channel and it is fun. Thank you
Thread elastic through teeth of two small combs. Attach one on each sides of hat. Pull down on elastic looped combs while placing hat on head. Invert combs and insert, teeth up, into hair. The tension of the elastic, anchored by the combs in the hair, keep the hat in place.
I know this is off topic, but you have the most beautiful complexion. It looks stunning with the jet black hair and red lip. That dark purple top is perfect complement as well. It’s nice to see someone embracing and making the most of their porcelain skin! It’s one of my favourite looks.
I just found this 7-year-old video and it’s so very helpful. I love anything “vintage” which takes me away from this current mess that mankind has created. You even have a vintage name - “Evelyn”. How apropos that your mother would name you one of the beautiful old names from yesteryear. THANK YOU FOR THIS WELL-MADE VIDEO, EVELYN. XOXOXO
Yay! I can’t believe it!!! Now I know why my grandmother’s adorable summer hat from the 1930’s has that elastic! I didn’t get it. I just couldn’t believe she would have worn that elastic under her chin! Thanks to you I will wear it properly and it will stay on my head! Just so happens I did replace the elastic, after all it is about 90 years old, my goodness.Grandma is smiling down on me, and you! 🤗
Thank you so much for the explanation of a hat pin! I inherited several incredible vintage hats from my Gram and great-gram but never learned how they secured them. I’m so stoked to wear them out now!
THAT'S WHAT THE HOLES WERE FOR!!!! Grandma had a fancy hat that I would try on, and I always wondered what these two holes were for. It was for a hat pin! And I hear you asking why didn't I just ask Grandma what they for. Because I wasn't supposed to playing with things in the hope chest, which is where the hat was kept.......
Oh thank you so much, I have two 1830 hat pins but did not know how to put them on. Also have my Grandmothers and my Aunts from the 1930’s. I know how lucky I am and they have been sitting with my lovely hats for years. I can never thank you enough. You are gorgeous!!!
Wow Eliza I'm so happy to hear that you will now be wearing these loving family pieces! Being that old I bet they are beautiful! If they are rusty, I have heard that a fine sand paper will work to clean it off, but I have not done it myself yet!
Thank you I just got my first hat pin in the mail today and I thought to myself how can this possibly hold my hat on but what you're saying gives me hope. ❤ Tomorrow I will be trying it out at the ranch while I pull weeds lol ❤
I purchased two vintage hats and now I know how to use a hat pin. I purchased a vintage hatpin holder and the seller gave me 5 vintage long to medium size hat pins and I did not know how to use the hatpin. Thanks for sharing.
I've become a hat lover about 2 years ago. I've always been confused how to keep them on my head. Your explanation and visual examples have been so helpful. Thank you for showing these very helpful tips and tricks. 🥰
Finally! When we can all go outside I can keep my hats on! I don't wear them half as much as I should for fear of them blowing off in the wind! Thank you!!
Those are great tips however I would recommend using the little Combs in the front of the hat because then it works with gravity. This is one way we secure hats just like these for theatrical productions. It's also important (to preserve the hairstyle) to put the hat on front first then secure the back, and when you remove it, unsecure the back first then the front and remove it I that same direction because it won't mess up your hair. (Or dislodge the wig which is what you seeing about 90% of period plays and films.) and
Could you do a video showing us your hat collection, and discussing how you find good quality vintage hats? Those hats in the background are so amazing! You make wonderful videos! :D
Finally I find a video like this! I wear almost all berets, small fascinators, hairflowers, turbans and bands. But wearing larger hats is new and I had no idea how to pin them on the back of my head or on the side. Guess I need to go looking for some pins!
i will always give u a thumbs up. in fact i give u 10. u r verry creative and helpful. u r what they called vintage. u do know what u r speaking about. theirs no fony in u. i am 4 ever greatful.
Classy video! I've spent my life not wearing hats because I couldn't keep them on. Look at this!...I waited so long to find out such great basic tips! Thank You!
Thanks! I was always wondering how all those elegant ladies would be able to get back home from a day out with their hat still balanced on their head... must be that I come from a particularly windy town, I've lost hats, scarves, even a pair of glasses I WAS WEARING xD xD xD
I tried the comb method and worked like a charm. Im planning on ordering a big pack of hair combs and stitching them to all my hats. I have a smaller head circumference so hats always fly off with the wind or when trucks pass
What a fun subject. I've never reflected upon how the ladies keep and used to keep their hats on their heads. Thanks for the info and inspiration. I'll be DIYing that elastic trick to my new beach fedora.
I’m going on a European cruise next month and was so worried about my hats flying away! Thank you for all these tips!! I’m sending this video to my sisters!!
LOVED this video and VERY helpful!!! We are going on a short cruise and their Gatsby by night should be fun thanks to you..love the hats idea! thanks so much! (how can anyone not like this video? they r nuts!). Marietta, Brisbane, Australia
Hi Marietta! Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it! How much fun creating a Gatsby outfit for your cruise! You definitely need a fab 1920s cloche hat for your outfit! Just stay away from the not so fab feather boas and long cigarette things! x
I had gotten into wearing vintage clothing a few months back and just got myself some old hats at an antique shop and had no idea what to do. Two lovely elderly women pointed me in the direction of hat pins. And now I know how to place them. Thank you.
I recently bought a super cool hat. My first one! My hair is super thick tho and so I searched for help here on TH-cam. That's when I found your video. I must say. It helped me a lot! And I gotta say, you are a really beautiful woman and I love your style. 😍
Iv always worn caps, berrys but recently i picked up a couple of vintage inspired and pretty decrated hats and i love to ware them everywhere, i was being very careful to keep them on my head, so i looked on youtube, your tips are awesome and really simple and now i know how to attach a hatpin properly. Great video Thank you
Genius ...thank you for this ! i should have looked at this last week ! I wore a cute ferdora hat on the windiest day , and literally to avoid losing my hat i had one hand on my head all day looking like a muppet 🙃
Oh god! Thank you! I love hats. I have like a dozen but I never get to wear them outside. It's often to windy around here. And I couldn't find a tutorial like this in my language but you just explained it so perfectly. Thank you so much! This summer will hopefully be my first hat-summer ;D
I was actually fiddling with a bit of elastic when you talked about the hat elastic. It actually works! I just pinned the elastic into my hat. My hair is only just long enough for it to stay XD
I am a vintage/retro lady born late 70's. I have a collection of hats in al shape and colours and I struggled with the same inconveniences. I do have bobby pins, 3 very beautiful hatpins with a little flower but now at least I know how to use them. Many thanks! I subbed right away. Looking forward to see more videos on your channel. Kuddos x
Such lovely hats! Thanks for showing us how to keep the hat on. I have a hatpin or two,and now I know how to use them. Thanks so much! ~Janet in Canada
Thank you I have been wondering how to properly keep them on. I have thinish straight hair that is not long enough for a bun. But I am obsessed with vintage hats and I just love wearing them. Now I need to see from you a clip about hat etiquette .
Love your video! Thank you so much. Found it under "how to use a hat pin". I'm interested in making vintage hat designs, like the cloche, the Homburg. Brilliant! You look amazing!
And here I was putting the elastic on my hat under my chin 😂 Under the hair sounds so much nicer!
Now I know how hatpins actually work! I've wondered forever and it all seems so logical now you've demonstrated it.
Haha! yes know you know how they work!! Not so complicated, and they actually work!!
How quickly knowledge escapes us when we stop needing it.
Thank you for bringing this back! Hat pins used to be used by ladies for self defense (ex on trains against handsy men). There's even a quote from Roosevelt about the wrath of women with hat pins 🙂. Having hat pins made women feel safer traveling alone and was a symbol of female independence.
Thanks. I grew up with hats
Hat pins were used for self-defense? I didn’t know this! This is why I always love reading the comments. Thank you, Jaimie.
I just came here for the hat pin instructions, but I stayed for the fashion...love it!
+jane jan Fabulous!!! Thankyou I'm happy to hear it!
I estimate where my hatpin will go, and I place a bobby pin in my hair in that location. Then once I've put the hat on over it, I can run the hatpin under the bobby pin. It lasts all day and locks everything in place.
Now that is a fabulous idea Nicole!!! I think this would work especially for short hair! thanks for the tip!
Evelyn Wood Yes! I have a short bob and live in Florida! You understand what heat and humidity can do! Yay!!! I'm so excited that you find that a helpful tip!
Don't even get me started on the humidity in summer!... Lucky its winter for me now!
You wear hats in Florida? Brave soul
