Multiblocks

 

See it in action!

   
Our very popular crown block system with interchangeable tips, designed with the aspiring milliner in mind, for whom the purchase of blocks will be a major investment. By purchasing a base unit and a selection of tips, a set of crown blocks can be built up more economically than by purchasing individual blocks.

IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION, THE EX VAT PRICES ARE FOR YOU.

 
MBS Multiblock Set
MBS The basic set contains a base unit, MBB, with an allen key and screws, a 40mm extension, MBE, and three tips; flat MB9, shallow dome MB6, and bowler MB2. The set offers considerable saving when compared with the cost of three individual blocks. If you prefer, you can select from the range of tips shown below. All parts are accurately made from obeche, the softer of our two woods. They are fully interchangeable, so you can buy just a base and a tip and add to your range as finances allow. Head shape is slim oval.

Price £186.00 (£158.30 ex VAT)

MBC2 New! Multiblock Cloche Brim  
mbc2

A steeper sided version of the MBC above to create a very close fitting cloche hat. It could have many possibilities depending on how you cut the blocked fabric. The picture below shows the MBC2 with an MBE extension and the new MB7 tip. A real 1940's cloche hat!

Price £58.00 (£49.36 ex VAT)

 
 
MB7 on MBE & MBC2
MBC3 New! Multiblock Cloche Brim
mbc3

An elegant cloche brim whose curves flow gently out of the vertical sides of an extension and tip. The front extends lower than the back and the sides sweep up in the centre, a shape which is easily created on the block with the string groove (included in the price). It works particularly well with an MBE2 extension (30mm) and a tip of your choice such as MB7 (both are pictured below).
A great way to vary your cloche hats!

Price £98.00 (£83.41 ex VAT)

 
 
mbc3
 

Additional Tips

Unless otherwise stated, Multiblock tips are 70mm high which also makes them useable as pill-box blocks in their own right. Although, if you want a pill-box block with a recessed bottom, see our range of Pill-boxes.
   
MB7 New!    

MB7

MB& on MBC&E

This is a new Multiblock tip specially designed to work with the MBE and MBC in order to create a much more rounded shape than is possible with other tips. This is possible here beacuse the tip is 80mm thick rather than the standard 70mm. We've produced this block in response to a number of requests from customers wanting to make a true 1930's/40's style cloche hat. When combined with the MBE & MBC it corresponds exactly with our CB44 cloche block and represents a considerbale saving if you are already a multiblock set owner. If not, it's still worth considering buying the individual parts given the savings and benefits of our Multiblock system.

The picture left shows the MB7 combined with our MBC (cloche brim) and MBE (Multiblock extension)
