hatband Explanation: "Hatband" specifies that it is part of the hat, whereas a bandeau can also be worn on its own. (According to the Collins Dictionary of English: a narrow band worn around the head to keep the hair in position) Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puggaree#Parts_of_a_hat The word "puggaree" exists, but this is used for particular kinds of hats (military) and is probably not relevant here. For reference, see www.diggerhistory.info/pages-uniforms/puggaree.htm |

| Reference: Info Reference information: Die Bückeburger Mütze ist am auffallendsten. Ihre Schleifen haben eine Spannweite von 70 cm, sie stehen steif und röhrenförmig ab. Zu ihrer Fülle an Band trägt das "Bindken" bei, das hier besonders große Formen angenommen hat. Das gestickte Teil über der Stirn, "Plitt" genannt, ist mit Perlen bestickt und wirkt wie eine Krone. http://www.cammer-schaumburg.de/Trachtenverein/Trachtenkunde... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2010-03-03 22:56:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Bückeburger Tracht http://www.trachtengruppe-lindhorst.de/hist/name.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2010-03-03 23:03:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The Schaumburg-Lippe costume was mostly worn around Bückeburg and Lindhorst, and is one of the best known German costumes. Most typical for the female costume from Bückeburg are the large black bow with the richly embroidered pillbox hat http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38837607 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 33 mins (2010-03-03 23:19:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I don't mean to be sexist, but something tells me our lady colleagues will be better able to do something with this. |
