SB1 – Stretcher Block

The easy way to stretch a brim’s headsize during production. Simply pull the blocked brim over the stretcher block and down to the size required. For felt hats, stretch dry to half an inch larger than the size required and leave overnight to stretch. Because of the properties of felt, it will shrink back to the correct size. For straw and sinamay hats, slightly dampen the headband, stretch to the same size required and allow to dry.
