Hat pins kept womens hats from being blown off. They were used at the back of the hat. The lady would stick the pin into the hat and move it under her hair, then make the pin come back through the hat.

∙ 15y agoHat pins were a means of keeping a hat from flying off a woman's head when it was required dressing. Women mostly wore their hair up. The pin goes in one side of the hat, thru the hair and back out the other side of the hat. If you are going to use one be sure to get an end piece to your pin to prevent accidental stabbing of yourself and to hold it more securely.
