ASK FATHER: Saturno tassel

From a cleric:

I bought Saturno and a black tassel that goes with it. I was hoping that if you can teach us how to put the tassel on the saturno.

Ahhh…. an important question.   Not like those frivolous “how to make a good confession” questions, or “are sacraments effective in the state of mortal sin”.

First, allow me to preface this with admission that I don’t have a tassel for my Roman hat. Odd, no?  Maybe that can be one of those things like buckles for my shoes that, someday, I’ll have.

I don’t believe there is any secret to the tassel.  Loop it around the crown of the hat, and tighten it down.  If you have to pin it, pin it.

Otherwise, the tassel should be on the left side, if I’m not mistaken, and shipped a bit to aft.  So, if the front, over your nose, is 12 o’clock, then the tassel should be at about 7 or 8.

Enjoy!

PS: I still want a Jijin.

And don’t forget the BIRETTA project.
