This ring brim block will be an ideal addition to your hat block collection. You can combine this brim blocks with ROUND crown block to create beautiful felt or straw hats with an up-turned brim.
This ring shaped brim block will let you create hats with an asymmetric brim – one side turned up (max height 8cm/ 3.15″), the other side turned down. The outside diameter of the hat block will be about 29cm (11.4″).
You will love this brim block and you will be able to extend your hat block collection by adding different crown blocks at a later stage.

BLOCK-IN-1
If you are planning to use this brim block to block hats in one piece, e.g. place a crown block inside the round center, please LEAVE US A NOTE AT CHECK-OUT with the size of crown block you are planning to use. We will then make the center hole of the brim block bit larger than the crown block so that there is space for the material of the hat (felt, straw etc.).
All of our hat blocks are covered with 2-3 layers of varnish for protection. See our blog post How to take care of your hat blocks.
The pictures show a sample item. Each item is hand made in the needed size, but there can be some variation in the natural color and grain of the wood.
