Thanks again. A subject I have wondered about for a long time.

Thank you so much! So, like Topsy, it "just grew," rather than having been an official add-on?

What is the origin of the tourie? I have seen 18th-century reenactors' bonnets with them, usually in the same colour at the bonnet itself, but images from earlier periods show only the bonnet.
