Holdtite Hat Holders

Once in a while a post appears here with a question about the placement of the elastic band on (primarily 1940s) hats, or a photo is posted in which you can see the band under the chin of the mannequin's head. As I unpacked my millionth box here, from having moved here a year ago, I found this item in my collection of "stuff" and I thought it might help clarify the issue for future inquirers...

 

I have these in my collection. This pair has the fabric elastic band for the back of the head.
A good reminder.

 

Even better to show both ways of wearing the hat holders. I can't tell for sure with your image, but your thicker hat holder appears to go behind the ear, but under the hair at the neck, correct?

 

I know I was guilty of the "under the chin" method way back when! Correcting that was one of the first things I learned here at VFG.

 

I believe the bands I have, can be worn either way, depending on the hair style and length.
