Re: Some hats in the Life magazine in Raiders of the Lost Ark
In my opinion, more-or-less. Sinatra and Dean Martin wore wide brims in the 40's and 50's, Sinatra wore shorter brims towards the beginning of the end, I think due to his facial size and shape. He was skinny, I think the wider brims would have made him goofy looking, hence why he chose to prefer bow...

Also, Frank Sinatra, who was very close to JFK, stopped wearing hats about this time. In the 60's the Rat Pack were still the "hot commodore" of the era and I believe that I had read somewhere that once Kennedy started with the hat-less look, Sinatra followed suit and so did the rest. Sina...

Why wouldn't Indy pick up something from the locals when he arrives? That's what I like to do for things like hats or gloves in colder weather places. You support the local economy and have a useful souvenir to take home. You mean something like this: http://www.urbanape.com/images/photos/Spies_Lik...
