Our very popular crown block system with interchangeable tips, designed with the aspiring milliner in mind, for whom the purchase of blocks will be a major investment. By purchasing a base unit and a selection of tips, a set of crown blocks can be built up more economically than by purchasing individual blocks. | ||||||||||||||

MBS Multiblock Set | |||||||||||||||
The basic set contains a base unit, MBB, with an allen key and screws, a 40mm extension, MBE, and three tips; flat MB9, shallow dome MB6, and bowler MB2. The set offers considerable saving when compared with the cost of three individual blocks. If you prefer, you can select from the range of tips shown below. All parts are accurately made from Lime wood. They are fully interchangeable, so you can buy just a base and a tip and add to your range as finances allow. Head shape is slim oval.

MBC2 Multiblock Cloche Brim | |||||||||||||||
A steeper sided version of the MBC above to create a very close fitting cloche hat. It could have many possibilities depending on how you cut the blocked fabric. The pictures below show a couple of possibilities. A real 1940's cloche hat! Price £63.00 (£52.50 ex VAT) |
|||||||||||||||
MBC3 Multiblock Cloche Brim | |||||||||||||||
An elegant cloche brim whose curves flow gently out of the vertical sides of an extension and tip. The front extends lower than the back and the sides sweep up in the centre, a shape which is easily created on the block with the string groove (included in the price). It works particularly well with an MBE2 extension (30mm) and a tip of your choice such as MB7 (pictured below). Price £121.00 (£100.83 ex VAT) |
|||||||||||||||
MBC4 Multiblock Cloche Brim | |||||||||||||||
A very 1920's style cloche brim, ideal with MB2 tip and MBE extension as pictured below. This block comes with a string groove as standard to give you that lovely bottom curve straight off the block. The picture below shows the brim side on with the back of the brim on the right side. Price £91.00 (£75.83 ex VAT) |
|||||||||||||||
MBC5 New! Multiblock Double Brim | |||||||||||||||
Another great way to extend your possibilities with this double brim giving you two options.

It also works with the CB112 trilby shown below centre which is part of a range we're hoping to expand very soon. Price - £120.00 (£100.00 ex VAT). Also available with a string groove between the two sides for an additional £25.00 (£20.83 ex VAT). |

BB71 | |||||||||||||||
A very stylish 'snap' brim which features a ridge round the back, where the blocked brim will 'snap' to create an upturn running from the sides round to the back. This has the advantage that with a crown or indeed any of our multiblock tips screwed on top, you can 'block in one' in the same way that you would make a cloche hat. The ideal crown to accompany this brim is the CB112 pictured below left, but seeing as this brim works in exactly the same way as all the cloche brims above, why not try any of our multiblock tips too - see below for some ideas. String groove as standard. Price £189.00 (£157.50 ex VAT)
|
|||||||||||||||
Left to right, BB71 with CB112, with MBE & MB2, with MBE & MB48 and with MB71 | |||||||||||||||
BB84 & MB78 New! | |||||||||||||||
A great little boater set made up of a separate brim and crown that fit together in the normal multiblock way. This means you can swap the tip for any of the others in the range. The tip MB77 is low (52mm) and designed especially to be a perching boater (eg around size 21"). If you order the brim in a head fitting size then any standard multiblock tip will work fine. The brim width will always be 64mm wide all round. String groove is included on the brim. BB84 Price £74.00 (£61.67 ex VAT) MB78 Price £73.00 (£60.83 ex VAT) Combo Price £130.00 (£108.33 ex VAT)

|||||||||||||||
BB85 New! | |||||||||||||||
Inspired by our popular CB107, we decided to turn it into a multiblock brim for use with the full range of tips. Featuring a fully hollowed underside, you can fold and pin right into the bottom to give a double sided peak, or perhaps with straw you could fold in just to give a hem to the bottom edge. Shown above right with an MB7 tip. You can also use it with any of the extensions to make a taller crown more like CB107 Price £152.00 (£126.67 ex VAT)
|

Additional Tips |
|||||||||||||||
Unless otherwise stated, Multiblock tips are 70mm high which also makes them useable as pill-box blocks in their own right. Although, if you want a pill-box block with a recessed bottom, see our range of Pill-boxes. | |||||||||||||||
MB7 | |||||||||||||||
This is a new Multiblock tip specially designed to work with the MBE and MBC in order to create a much more rounded shape than is possible with other tips. This is possible here beacuse the tip is 80mm thick rather than the standard 70mm. We've produced this block in response to a number of requests from customers wanting to make a true 1930's/40's style cloche hat. When combined with the MBE & MBC it corresponds exactly with our CB44 cloche block and represents a considerbale saving if you are already a multiblock set owner. If not, it's still worth considering buying the individual parts given the savings and benefits of our Multiblock system. The picture below shows the MB7 combined with our MBC (cloche brim) and MBE2 (Multiblock extension) Price £66.00 (£55.00 ex VAT) (does not include MBE & MBC) |
