Our Pill Box Regular Oval Hat Block is designed for milliners and hat makers creating classic pillbox-style hats and other low-crown designs.

This block features a regular oval profile with clean, straight sides and a flat top, providing a simple and versatile form for shaping a variety of pillbox and structured hat styles.

Each block is 3D printed for consistency and made to the selected size.

⚠️ IMPORTANT SIZING INFORMATION

Our hat blocks are made TRUE TO SIZE.

The listed size is the actual 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.

Regular Oval Profile

This Pill Box block features a regular oval profile, providing a balanced front-to-back and side-to-side shape suitable for many common head shapes.

The regular oval profile is less elongated than a long oval and is a versatile choice for traditional pillbox-style hats and similar designs.

Pill Box Shape

The Pill Box style features a low, straight-sided crown with a flat top, creating the clean silhouette commonly associated with pillbox hats.

Its simple shape also provides a useful starting point for custom shaping and creative millinery projects.

PETG Plastic Construction

This hat block is 3D printed in PETG plastic.

PETG is a strong, durable material that offers good impact resistance and moisture resistance, making it well suited for general hat-blocking and millinery use.

Because these blocks are 3D printed, minor layer lines or surface variations may be visible. These are a normal part of the manufacturing process and do not affect the function of the block.

Choosing Your Size

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

Finished Hat Size → Recommended Block Size

56 cm finished hat → 57 cm block
57 cm finished hat → 58 cm block
58 cm finished hat → 59 cm block
59 cm finished hat → 60 cm block
60 cm finished hat → 61 cm block

Half sizes may also be available depending on the selected size options.

True-to-Size Construction

Because our hat 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 select the amount of sizing allowance appropriate for their project.

Returns & Incorrect Size Orders

Please carefully check both the 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.

If you are unsure which size or profile is best for your project, please contact us before ordering.
