This one is an all-in-one, like the ones sold by Guy Morse-Brown (http://www.hatblocks.co.uk/clocheblocks.html) in the UK--IIRC Laura and i looked at his catalog specs when deliberating on the dimensions of the one she carved.
But, you can also have a cloche brim block that's separate--Morse-Brown does a set he calls "multiblocks" which are interchangeable crowns/brims that have a cloche brim option.
I have actually used this cloche block with different brim blocks as well--i have a forthcoming post on that, actually, once i finish up the hat i did that way! Hopefully i'll get to that by the weekend.
