Making a Hat Block

[ChicagoWayVito]

I am surprised how many hatters out there only have Regular Oval blocks and flanges.

This is the problem I am trying to address with my collection of blocks. I have a single block and flange in long oval.

I have found that at least 50% of my male clients are Long Oval. Women tend to be more Regular Oval. I have a #52 vintage block in 57cm that I use a lot for women clients.....it is a bit of a hybrid....a modified Reg Oval that works really well. Then of course there are those male 'tweeners'...they are the ones that pose the problem!!

If you contact Jaxon he might cut you a break if you buy full sets.
