: : : I have heard from some people that Stetson made the hats for the Indy films. I have also heard from others that Herbert Johnson Hatters made the hat. So, I just have one question, WHO REALLY MADE THE HAT?!?!?!?!? Any info would be greatly appreciated
: : : Matt Walker
: : Officially, Herbert Johnson made the actual hat worn by Harrison Ford. Stetson did indeed make hats for the stuntmen and the extras. I own one from Temple of Doom myself, and I recently read of one owned by an individual obtained from a stuntman from the same movie, so the answer is, yes, both are correct. Regards. Michaelson
: Are the Herbert Johnson mhats still available and are they still made
: the same exact way as they were for the movies?
: Matt Walker

Check out Micah's "X-Marks-the-Spot" link, as well as the "Indy Diggs" FAQ, address mentioned somewhere below in the forum. All the information regarding Herbert Johnson is there. And yes, they're still in the business....Regards. Michaelson
