17.01.2022 A word about our Hat Maker's Open Crowns: Our #151 and #152 are direct duplicates of original vintage #51 and #52 blocks that we own. Our standard height is set at 6 (152mm) tall for a 22 13/16 (58cm) Crown.... Smaller circumference blocks will be incrementally shorter and larger circumference blocks will be incrementally taller to keep aspect ratios correct across the range and to ensure that if, for example, you were to block a small 56cm crown, it would look identical, to say, a 61cm hat from the same shape but larger Open Crown. Thus, making the same hat across the size range without distortion. If we did not stick to the rules of aspect ratio, the shape of your hats would not be uniform across the range. Available with Pouncing Base or with One or Two finger holes. .................................................................... A word about our Hat Maker's Flange Brims: Our 708 and 710 Flanges are modelled on two vintage brims; Our 708 is from a (loaned) vintage, un-branded block and our 710 is a direct model of a Sotos Bros. style 817, 3 brim. Our Hatters Flanges feature the same cord groove and will fit the most commonly used Flange stands (from which our Traditional Flange stand is a direct model) and feature the same washers on the underside to protect the block. We believe our Flanges are better constructed than vintage brims and are expected to last as long, if not even longer than them. We can also add a ribbon and bow recess to the inside of the Flange if desired, on request. If you have a particular Flange style need, we can create one for you, based on either sketches provided by you or a sample.
