Beginner Hatter’s Tool Set

Everything you need to get started blocking and shaping hats in one complete physical tool set.

This kit brings together the essential tools for blocking, working and trimming a hat, without requiring you to piece together your setup one tool at a time. Whether you’re just getting into hat making or looking to build your first proper blocking setup, the kit gives you a solid foundation that you can add to as your skills and block collection grow.

Included in the Set

1 × Hat Block — Your Choice

Unlike fixed starter kits, your block is made to your specifications. Choose your block type, size, profile and crown height. You Choose the type, size, profile and height that best suits the hats you want to make. This lets you start with a block that actually fits your intended style rather than being locked into a predetermined configuration.

1 × Hat Block Stand
A sturdy stand designed to securely support your hat block while blocking, shaping and working the felt.

1 × Hat Blocking Tool Set
Includes three essential hand tools:

  • Pusher Downer — helps push and seat the blocking cord down over the felt.

  • Puller Downer — provides controlled grip for pulling and stretching the felt during blocking.

  • Tollicker — for working, smoothing and defining the transition between the crown and brim (brim break).

1 × Rounding Jack
An adjustable brim-cutting tool for trimming the brim to a clean, consistent width around the hat.

A Complete Starting Setup

With a block, stand, blocking tools and rounding jack all included, this set covers the core equipment needed to take a hat body through the basic blocking process and prepare it for shaping and finishing.

Start with the block you need now, learn the process with a complete set of purpose-built tools, and add additional block sizes and profiles as your hat making grows.

Physical tools — no 3D printing required.
