This is a fedora hat block set with flip brim that you can use to create fedora hats with a short up-turned brim at the back and a dip at the front. This set includes a beautifully shaped 12.5cm ( 5โณ) tall crown block and elegant brim block. The crown block is 4″ tall (if you would like a taller crown block please contact us prior to purchase).
This brim block is called a flip brim as you block the material (felt, straw etc.) over the brim block, down the sides, let it dry and then flip up the sides to get a turned-up brim. This is an oval brim block, about 26cm (10.2″) long, 6cm (2.4″) wide in the front. In the last picture you can see a hat – the crown was shaped by hand (not on this crown block!!!!) but the brim was shaped on the flip brim block.
This set can be purchased with or without a wooden presser.
The crown block and brim block have an OVAL outline.
The hole in the bottom of the blocks is 2,5cm (about 1 inch) in diameter for easy mounting on a blocking stand. The blocks have a lacquer finish to protect the wood.
NOTE: The pictures show sample items. Each item is hand made in the same size, but there can be some variation in the natural colour and grain of the wood. The listing does not include the hat seen in the last picture.
