ADD-A-BRIM


Add a brim to your Hat Shaper
Many of our crowns can be formed with an integral brim base.  While wet felting loose fiber, the add-a-brim helps in the formation of nicely curved brims that can be flipped up or down for added style.

Anatomy of a Hat Shaper


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.

Larger Hat Shapers with Add-A-Brims require additional reinforcement and cost a bit more.
