I feel that the presence of a wind cord lends a distinctive touch to a classic lid, but I have a couple with cords that seem to be loose; that is, they are noticeably longer than the circumference of the crown at the intersection with the brim. It's not really that bad, the worst one wants to sit about 1/4" off the band.
This may be fashion minutiae, but just out of curiosity, is this common on certain hats, or are mine simply stretched out? I know this isn't rocket science, but I have tried taking up the slack at the bow, causing the button to dangle somewhat sloppily off the bow of the band. I have opted for the loose line rather than the dangling button. Any observations or preferences on this?
