About Herald Hats
Built to Move Hat Making Forward
Herald Hats creates practical digital tools for a deeply hands-on trade—giving hat makers faster access to precise, printable hat blocks and plates while respecting the knowledge and craftsmanship behind every finished hat.
Our purpose
Better Tools for Better Hat Making
Hat making depends on precision, but obtaining the right block can be slow, expensive, or limiting—especially when a maker needs a specific size, head shape, or crown height.
Herald Hats Software turns those requirements into downloadable 3D models. Makers can configure a block, preview it, and receive a production-ready STL file without needing to model it from scratch.
Our goal is straightforward: reduce the friction between an idea and the tools needed to make it real.
What guides us
Designed Around the Trade
Technology is only useful when it understands the work. Every Herald Hats tool is shaped around the measurements, decisions, and production realities that matter in a hat shop.
