seems to me to be a Scadian carryover from all those 14th century types who wearing their coifs with the strings hanging loose. I'm not exactly sure what the documentation is for that either.
Haha, being one of those 14th century types about 50% of the time...I do it because tying the strings presses the fabric close to my ears and is annoying (I also find wearing a band under my chin when I wear veils super-duper annoying and have switched to wearing a kerchief as a foundation most of the time because of that. I just hate the feel of things fastened under my chin). I should poke around to see if I can actually find documentation for it....
