A word about our Open Crowns…

Our #151 and #152 are direct duplicates of original vintage #51 and #52 blocks that we own.

Our standard height is set at 6” (152mm) tall for a 22 13/16” (58cm) Crown.

Smaller circumference blocks will be incrementally shorter and larger circumference blocks will be incrementally taller to keep aspect ratios correct across the range and to ensure that if, for example, you were to block a small 56cm crown, it would look identical, to say, a 61cm hat from the same shape but larger Open Crown. Thus, making the same hat across the size range without distortion. If we did not stick to the rules of aspect ratio, the shape of your hats would not be uniform across the range.

Available with Pouncing Base or with One or Two finger holes.
