The brim is where a hat’s silhouette actually gets defined, and Formillionaire’s range of brim plates, flanges and extenders covers the hardware side of that: flat and upturned brim flanges for curling and setting a brim’s edge, standalone brim plates sized to specific head measurements, and hat block brim plate extenders for nudging an existing plate’s size up.
Flanges vs. Plates
A brim flange shapes and curls the brim’s edge after it’s already roughly formed — flat-brim and upturn styles cover the two common finishes. A brim plate, by contrast, is what the brim is blocked over in the first place, defining its overall width and curve from a flat piece of felt or straw.

Or Trace Your Own
Every brim shape in this catalog started as a traced outline. If none of the standard plates match the brim you have in mind, the brim plate generator turns your own hand-traced sheet into a custom-sized STL plate in a few minutes.
