Hat Block (#52 LONG oval)

#52 Long Oval Hat Block

Our #52 Long Oval Hat Block is designed for milliners and hat makers who need a traditional long-oval profile for shaping, blocking, and forming hats.

Each block is 3D printed to provide a consistent, repeatable shape and is available in multiple sizes to fit a wide range of hat-making projects.

⚠️ IMPORTANT SIZING INFORMATION

Our hat blocks are made TRUE TO SIZE.

This means the listed size is the actual finished circumference of the hat block.

YOU MUST ORDER ONE SIZE LARGER THAN YOUR FINISHED HAT SIZE TO ALLOW ROOM FOR THE SWEATBAND.

For example:

If you are making a finished 58 cm hat, order a 59 cm hat block.

The additional size provides the necessary allowance for the sweatband and helps prevent the finished hat from fitting too tightly.

Long Oval Profile

The #52 features a long oval shape, with additional front-to-back length compared with a standard or round oval block. This profile is ideal for hats being made for a longer, narrower head shape.

Please keep in mind that Long Oval refers to the shape of the block, not the circumference. The circumference you select is still the actual circumference of the block.

Choosing Your Size

Measure the intended finished head size, then order the next size up.

Finished Hat Size → Recommended Block Size

58 cm finished hat → 59 cm block
59 cm finished hat → 60 cm block
60 cm finished hat → 61 cm block

Construction

Our hat blocks are 3D printed for accuracy and consistency. They are designed for use with traditional hat-making and blocking techniques.

Because our blocks are made true to the listed size, we do not automatically add extra circumference for sweatbands, liners, or other finishing materials. This allows the hat maker to choose the appropriate block size for their project.

Returns & Incorrect Size Orders

Please carefully check your size and profile before placing your order.

Because our hat blocks are made true to size, it is the buyer's responsibility to select the correct size and to order one size larger to allow for the sweatband.

Returns resulting from an incorrect size or style being ordered by the customer are subject to a $10 return fee.

Please contact us if you have any questions about sizing before ordering. We are happy to help determine the best block size for your project.

⚠️ BEFORE ORDERING

Our blocks are TRUE TO SIZE.

Order ONE SIZE LARGER than your intended finished hat size to allow for the sweatband.

Example: 58 cm finished hat = Order a 59 cm block.
