So I contacted LodenFrey in Munich.
They closed down their Men's Hat department in 2017 ( same year as Borsalino bankrupcy).
So, confirmed (at least) that the hat is pre- bankrupcy.
To Me......Next to my 1 Hornskov....This hat is my 2. favorite, it Rocks !
Hi Guys,
Found this hat but have no infos as to how old it might be or the name of this model.
Felt is "Qualita Superiore" size 60
Liner is black with gold stamping.
What kind of felt is it?
Could I have lucked out and have a pre Borsalino bankrupcy ( pre- 2017) hat ?
Inside sticker :

Hello Gentlemen !
This hat fell into my hands but with little information.
Borsalino " Qualita Superiore " Size 60 ( I am a 58.5-59 head, it fits Me rather well).
Stamped in the liner as being purchased from "Lodenfrey" in Munich, Germany.
Hat liner is black with gold stamping/ lettering...
Yo Zombie....Did the same distilled water in a spray bottle thing to my Campdraft and my Hornskov. Got that advice here on FL ( I think from Belfastboy).
I also followed a strict protocol to appease the "bash setting gods" by burning some excellent Frankinsense and some premium herb to help with...
Hey Belfast ! Thanks for the response and for the infos. Nutria is an invasive specie which causing alot of problems as they breed often/ multiply quickly. I am exploring alternatives to Bunnys and Beaver. Thanks Bud !
I love seeing and learning from other's great posts here regarding vintage hats.
My question is, who makes hats (new) or why don't we see more hats today made from Nutria? I am a new hat kinda guy and would love to find a hatmaker who works with Nutria, have a hat made of Nutria.
Alone for the...
Hi Guys !
Today I am wearing my new Campdraft after having the original hatband changed out.
(Original was black and thin) It kinda went under for Me.
New Hatband is 16mm Petersham which I think pops out alittle more.
Yes, deep dents with center crease.
I think I'm turning into an open crown...
This is the problem I didn't want to deal with.
All my hats are size 59.
They were roomy and I wore them cautiously checking wind conditions beforehand- not wanting them to fly from my head in a gust of wind.
Now properly padded...They are going nowhere.
I am a 58.5 and the 59 affords Me some...
Not waiting any longer.
My Campdraft- black arrived today.
Ordered 24. March- arrived today 04 April - Australia Post/ DHL- AU to DE in 11 days.
Everyone deserves a little luck now and again.
p.s. crown height on mine measures 5 and 3/4
( measured from rim top surface at hat body to absolute...
That's why I ordered it now. Akubra website doesn't even have it listed.
Maybe the Campdraft got discontinued?
Finding one at a retailer in my size was difficult and the color this time is black.
I think supply chain issues are only going to get worse.
So, since we're talking about waiting....?
Second attempt at snatching an Akubra Campdraft
(and it getting to Me in a reasonable condition)
has been initiated.
Hoping express delivery from Australia will actually work this time around....
Thanks Blare and to all others.
We are doing fine. Sorry for the drama.
Gas now at only 2 Euro something a liter ( 3.8 ) Liter to the gallon ?
Let's pray for a de-escalation on both sides.
I now know how you feel.
I could order again, but for the moment I have enough hats.
Really loved the Stone/ dusty rose color combination one you have !
Thanks Shoe ! This is open crown and someone posted a Redactor. I was so knocked out by the redactor bash, I had to try it. This is an imperfect attempt but like it's owner (imperfect / individual ) it is my thing I guess. I love it and it's partially your fault ;)
