Lucky Charm and compass cufflinks by Indy Magnoli

Today I came to find two really cool pair of cufflinks waiting for me from Indy Magnoli. I think they are both great looking sets and I look forward wearing them with my suits soon. Funny story, I went to my sister-in-laws wedding two weeks ago and forgot to bring cufflinks with me...she got married...

I believe that Indy has several fedoras, but only one adventure hat. However, I do think there has been more than one adventure hat over the years. I personally think Indy lost his hat at the end of Raiders and as such he would have needed a new adventure hat. ;-)
