Stone Cloche
Stone Cloche keeps a brim edge that holds a single curve easy to see before it is wrapped.
Hat bench
A brim blocked so the line stays even
- Felt hats
- Straw brims
- Cloth bands
Felt hats, straw brims, and bands. A brim edge that holds a single curve is the check before a blocked hat is promised, and most blocked hats leave in 12–18 days.

— Client note
From steam to handoff
From steam to dry, with a brim edge that holds a single curve checked along the way.
01. Steam
Steam opens the job. The blocked hat is set so a brim edge that holds a single curve can be checked.
02. Block
Then block: nothing moves ahead of a closer cloche or a wider brim.
03. Dry
Dry is the hands-on pass. We stop if the work would mean copying a couture house shape.
Common questions
How long for a blocked hat?
Most blocked hats leave in 12–18 days after materials and a closer cloche or a wider brim are settled.
What should I decide first?
Decide a closer cloche or a wider brim. That choice sets the materials before the clock starts.
What will you refuse?
We refuse copying a couture house shape. If a note asks for that, we say so before tools start.
What do I check at handoff?
Look for a brim edge that holds a single curve. If that is off, we redo the step rather than ship it.
Visit the bench
Write before you come so the bench stays clear for the blocked hat already underway.
Studiestræde 24, 1455 København
Tue–Sat 12:00–18:00
A first visit covers a closer cloche or a wider brim, then a 12–18-day estimate if the job fits this bench.
How Millinery paces a blocked hat
Millinery Svantliban puts the blocked hat on the bench first so you can see a brim edge that holds a single curve before a date is promised.
The decision on this bench is a closer cloche or a wider brim. Write that in the form so the reply does not guess.
We turn down work that would mean copying a couture house shape. A clear no at the start saves the 12–18 days for work that fits.
The titled blocked hats above are recent pieces. Name the closest one when you book, then tell us what should change.
The order is Steam, Block, Dry. Waiting time is already inside the 12–18-day count.
Bring a daytime photo if color matters. Evening shots hide a brim edge that holds a single curve and push the plan off.
The form asks for a name, an email, the kind of blocked hat, an optional date, and a short note. The reply is by email.
A card goes with the blocked hat: how to store it, and when a later visit helps. We do not promise awards or a factory match.
Wooden hat blocks. A steamer and pins. Those are the materials you can handle on a visit, not a picture from another trade.
