Anybody come up with any clever way to add security to the clip-on

to limit flop?

I've written to Tilley about this with no response. Try drilling a
small, pin sized hole through the clip and put a pin (with a backer)
through it. Girl friends old ear ring that she's lost the mate to
will also work. Just don't tell your bride.
I was also looking at dipping the front of the brim in starch, mold it
to shape, let it dry and then spraying it with a fabric seal (scotch
guard). Haven't tried it yet.
