Vintage hat handmade hat block made from sparterie.
I’m not sure if it’s age but It’s got a 1940s/ 1950s skull cap look to it. It’s definitely made from sparterie and not buckram.
It’s very stiffened and would be suitable for blocking both straw and felts.
21.5”/ 55cm head fitting. I can get it on my 22.5” head so anything blocked on it I think could be eased out to fit.
Moving it on because I simply don’t reach for it to use it.
