millinery tools, tolliker, pusher, puller downer, double curler
Create smooth rolled felt hat brims using two of the most popular groove sizes. The 3/8" groove forms tighter pencil curls, while the 5/8" groove produces wider, softer rolled edges suitable for many classic hat styles.
Foot Tolliker
Flatten, stretch, and smooth felt while shaping the crown and brim. The specially shaped working surface helps create a crisp break line between the crown and brim for a clean professional finish.
Pusher Downer
Pushes the blocking cord securely into the groove around the hat block, helping hold the felt tightly in place while it dries. The smooth hardwood surface glides easily without damaging the felt. If you only need a Wooden Pusher Downer, you can find it here.
Puller
Helps stretch and tension the felt evenly during blocking. It provides greater control while shaping the crown and refining the overall hat form.
Blocking Rope (Option 2 only)
Strong woven cotton blocking rope designed to work together with the pusher during the blocking process. It securely holds steamed felt against the block while maintaining even pressure around the entire crown.
Each tool is handcrafted from solid hardwood and carefully sanded for a smooth, comfortable grip. The ergonomic shapes provide excellent control and reduce hand fatigue during extended workshop sessions.
This millinery tool set is suitable for working with wool felt, rabbit felt, and beaver felt. It is ideal for making fedoras, western hats, Homburgs, bowler hats, theatrical hats, vintage reproductions, and other custom felt hats.
You can also check the latest customer reviews and workshop photos in our Etsy Shop to see how professional and independent hat makers use these tools in everyday millinery work.
