Reenactment, theatre and film hat making regularly calls for shapes you won’t find in a modern millinery supply catalog. Formillionaire’s historical and costume range covers three of the more requested ones: the 18th-century tricorne, the Drill Instructor-style military campaign hat, and a plain skull crown block for custom costume work.
Accurate Enough for Reenactment
These blocks are shaped to match the period or uniform silhouette they’re named for, rather than a modernized approximation — useful for reenactment groups, costume departments and theatre productions where the shape needs to read correctly on stage or on camera, not just look “hat-shaped.”
What’s in the Range
- 18th-Century Tricorne Hat Block — single sizes and a multi-size bundle
- Drill Instructor (campaign hat) Hat Block
- Skull Hat Crown Block
Custom Trim and Brim
Most historical styles need a specific brim shape too. Trace it by hand and export a matching plate with the brim plate generator.
