In Reply to: 2 more fedora questions... posted by GCR on December 03, 1999 at 08:50:34:
: Okay, I have another question for the knowledgable Indy experts who frequent this forum, was Indy's hat in the film supposed to be or based on a stetson design from the thirties? If not, than what make of hat was it supposed to be? And also, didn't Indy wear a different fedora in a few scenes from Raiders? I remember the hat looking a bit different during the scenes where Indy boards the clipper, and the scenes at the end in washington. Once again, any help is greatly appreciated!
: P.S. To Michealson- Anything else? I may be buying the boots in bulk too!
I think the different hats you speak of were the same model as the brown one, only a different color, gray I think. I think his hat was just supposed to be a high crown fedora, not to be confused with the low crown model. And of course his brim was dimensionally cut, while many fedoras were not. Steve
