They will do it why - because they have been advised not to, or
because they see it and miss where you say "don't"?
In that case, a bit more explanation might help. Have the pictures
of the worst and ten minutes worth of WHY.
I don't know your era, but for Rev War we would say "this is a
gathered circle cap. You see it on reenactors, in theme restuarants,
etc, but it did not exist in the actual 18thC. The earliest we know
it was worn was 1888. Meanwhile here are some pattern sources for
appropriate caps. There are several choices and people tend to find
them more flattering than the gathered circle."
I'm guessing there are some typical errors/misconceptions about your
site. Especialy emphasize how the right way is more attractive. :-)
