Materials & Craftsmanship

Developed by Mad in Brooklyn with our specialist Italian artisan. Crafted from linden wood or European poplar, selected for its smooth, workable surface and suitability for pinning, steaming and shaping. Each block is carefully finished and protected with polyurethane lacquer to help protect the wood during normal millinery use.

Height & Customization

This design is produced in its standard height and proportions for the selected size unless a different height is requested and confirmed before production. Custom heights and profile modifications are available. Contact Mad in Brooklyn before ordering; custom requests may affect the price and production time.

Production Time

This block is made to order. Please allow approximately 4–5 weeks before shipment. Large quantities, custom heights and modified profiles may require additional time.

Care Instructions

Before steaming or blocking, cover the wooden surface with plastic wrap or a thin protective film. After use, allow the block to dry completely. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, strong heat and excess moisture.
