This is probably for Jock Scot, but maybe someone else knows the answer.

I recently purchased a Blackwatch tam with red hackle for my collection of bonnets/hats. However, when it arrived, the hackle was not attached to the tam.

I have no idea how to fasten the hackle to the tam. I'm pretty sure that the wire loop at the bottom goes into the sweatbach (which would require a small slit in the stitches before inserting the wire into the fold, but how do you fasten the thing?

I want to have it where it can be properly displayed as a tribute to a lost regiment.

Any help will be appreciated. I've searched all over the 'net and on XMarks, but I can't find the answer anywhere.
