I saw this online...

$28.00 plus shipping. I was thinking of trying to use this and make my own hat. Looks like it might work out ok, based on the images on the page.
Any thoughts, other than the probably re-blocking I'd have to do?
Plastic hat block?

The only thing about the explorer block is that it is tapered.
A member here a while back had Hat Shapers design a open crown straight sided block. Here is the link to it: http://www.hatshapers.com/Product%20Pag ... d_Dome.htm
It is about $5 more, but I think that extra $ is worth it for a better block shape.
In this thread you can see how others used the straight sided one to re-block their fedoras: http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=8550&start=50
