Hat Shapers

The MOST Revolutionary Idea In Hat Felting Since The Primitive Wooden Hat Block.

Tired of using bowls and balls to form your wet-felted hats?

Try
Hat Shapers

They are made out of recycled automotive plastic and thermoformed over a solid mold, made for Hat Shaper's custom built machine.  The forms are lightweight, stackable, washable, portable, and best of all, affordable.  They are great for shaping, blocking, drying and storing your felted hats.  Hat Shapers are very strong and can endure the process involved in creating felted hats.  The forms are designed for animal fiber used with wet "steam and heat" hat felting.

$33.00 each, unless otherwise noted.

Add-a-Brim



A standard Hat Shaper does not have a "brim", it has a small flat base to provide strength to the crown.  The base is not intended to be a pattern for your brim.  You will, most likely, want to have a wider brim than the flat base would define.  Feel free to make your hat with whatever brim dimensions that you imagine would look best.  You can use your steam iron to shape it into just about any configuration you desire.

The Add-A-Brim, on the other hand, provides an integral felting resist for a standard fedora-type brim configuration.  The turned down brim can be flipped to achieve classic fedora brim lines.

Prices for Add-a-Brim include extra shipping (as an oversized item).

Available by special order - allow up to two weeks for delivery.  
Please put a message in the cart to specify to which hat you want to apply the Add-A-Brim.
