Akubra, Peter Bros, Herbert Johnson, Camptown (too bad they ceased operation as of the past winter), Adventurebilt, Pennman… ALL of them make Indy hats that are far better than the DPs. I have a Peter Bros hat and am looking into a Magnoli Herbert Johnson myself.
Dorfman Pacific makes a top of the line stetson quality Indy hat-while not movie accurate it is still a better quality hat-at over twice the price-of the more common $39.95 types but if that is all one has-I still salute them.
I have the hat from blockbuster, but I’m ordering a Fed IV hat soon, and I rebashed my BB hat by wetting it down and putting it into an open crown shape then supplying it with a good-old fashioned Raiders look.
Well no one will doubt it is an Indiana Jones” hat for sure. How many of us want to spend $2-300.00 on an indy hat that is too nice to wear anytime or all the time?
I know what everyone says about Orvis Fetl Lite packable hat’s that they shrink but it was beacuse you did not ahve it mold to your head!!! I favor mine over any hat Any Day!!!!!!
It looks green and it’s not screen accurate at all. Wear it ’til it doesn’t fit and buy a Akubra Federation. They are low priced and good quality. They can even pull of a Raiders bash!
Congrats!! nice hat, i will have mine too from the Indy official store.
There are other brands, like Adventure built, that are beaver felt. That model costs 500 bucks, and those were the ones that Harrison Ford used on the last film.
None the less, the one that you dad gave you it’s unique, couse he gave it to you with love.
You’ll probably find that the original hat is a fur felt one and not wool felt. Wool felt is inferior quality as well as not looking the part. It’s way to grainy.
I’ve had both and believe me fur felt is twice the quality and style.
I’ve done it, and have no complaints. The hat of course stopped fitting me ages ago, before I did it (while waiting for my Peters Bros. Temple of Doom hat to come), but I like how such simple work goes a long way.
I got one of those hats, but I was unsatisfied with it, so I “rebashed” it into a Riders Fedora.
Indeed, with some work, you can get a decent ToD / Last Crusade look out of it.
2-300? You can get a good looking one for $85 – 150.
The hat like that looks like crap nothing like Indy’s……. RESHAPE IT!!!!!

I have the hat! But I always complain that if they want to make an Indy hat, why wont they make look like the real deal!
cool hat

Good to know:) Then I won’t have to worry about using it on rainy/or snowy days:)
mines been wet plenty of times(rain, snow, and a crazy five year old cousin) but its always fine if you just air dry it. never fails!
it seems like very good quality doesn’t it?
Ok, i’ll keep that in mind;)
be carful when you wet it you can ruin youre hat if you dont do it right.
Well, I don’t know if I dare to do that to my hat:) But one day I might try it;)
