Since women tended to have their hair in a low flat bun, could the ties go around the bun? So the band would be covering the hair line at the front and sides of the head, ties going one above and one below the ear, then the above tie staying above the bun and tying with its mate from the other side, the lower tie doing the same below the bun. With the bun, it would be awkward to wear a cap under the bonnet, but a band would be coasy and warm. I have long hair that a wear in a fat bun and I find modern headgear impossible to wear because the back always comes down too low to accommodate my bun. This seems like something I'd like to wear now instead of a band or cap and my head scarves would have something to hold on to (a bit of friction) ... hum .... getting out the needles and yarn ...
