and see if you don’t talk with more passion and purpose. Slide on one of our ivy caps and instantly add some East Coast swagger to your step. What is it about BLOCK that feels so New York? It’s not the superior design and superb fit or the contemporary yet classic looks we serve up each season. It’s the confidence (bordering on cockiness) you feel when you’re wearing one. You can’t put a price on that…good thing it’s free with every purchase.
Block Headwear was created by Cuban-born designer Ciomi McCabe who grew up in the hat business. She developed her craft at Kangol where her father was CFO. Having the desire to start her own headwear brand, Ciomi launched Block Headwear in May 2000 out of NYC where she and the company are based. In May 2006, Concept One Accessories acquired Block where Ciomi remains as the head designer and creative director of the brand.
The brand name, Block, pays homage to the centuries old art of hat making where material is molded around a piece of wood - a "Block" - to give a hat its shape.
