Blocks of the Month – October 2024 Open Crowns

Every month you can enjoy 15% discount on one of our hat blocks BUT this month you can get a deal on all of our Open Crown Blocks. If you’re making men’s hats or you are a hatter ordering size runs then this discount it for you!

Open crowns are for blocking men’s hats where the valley and dimples are added by hand after blocking. This is a very traditional way to shape the crowns and has been used for many years with a huge variety of shaping. Open crowns are a complex shape with usually more slope in the front and back than at the sides – this helps prevent any bulge or forward lean when the valley and dimples are added. Of course, they can be used without shaping too.
