Hello all,
I'm looking to order a 3D printed hat block to remove the shrinkage and taper from my '50s Royal Deluxe Stetson.
My head circumference is 58.3cm. I'm going to fold down the sweatband when reblocking, so to allow for the space the sweat will take up, I'm thinking of going 1/4" (.635cm) up from my head size, bringing the block circumference to 58.935cm. The 1/4" is based on a comment I read here from Art Fawcett.
Being that a custom block order can't be returned, I want to make sure I have it right before ordering. Does this sound right to everyone? I've heard 1/2" suggested, but I want to make sure it's able to get over the block.
Thank you very much for any information.
