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

Try
Hat Shapers

Hat Shapers come in nearly 20 styles, each in three to five sizes. We stock 7 styles, and can special order any of the others (see listing, below).  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.

These styles available by special order:

Baseball Cap

Add-a-Brim

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.

Available by special order.  Prices for Add-a-Brim and extra shipping (oversized item):

Hat Size Add
XS-M $15.00
M+-XL $20.00
