What this hat has from Raiders, is the block shape, with it's very straight sides. We have had discussions lately, that the Raiders hat may not have been as tall as we thought, so I am really not sure yet, how this crown height compares. We need to see more of it.
The brim is much more of a continuation of LC as opposed to Raiders. There is no turn, and apparently, Spielberg likes the smaller brim of the LC hat. It gives him a better view of Harrison's face on closeups.
I know we were all hoping for an asymmetrical, wavy cool brim, and tight front pinch, like the Cairo hat, but it looks like we aren't going to get it. Once we get to see the movie and see the hat in action from all different angles, we will know more.

Fedora! Sooooo true!Fedora wrote:From my perspective today, (and it is a brand new perspective in some ways), we can thank Deborah for the Raiders fedora. And NO ONE ELSE. I want to emphasize that. That was her hat, and I guarantee you, there was no accidents involved in the hat looking the way that it does. It was planned. That warped brim was done on purpose, and was not a happy accident. It was done for a reason. And because of this, as far as many Indyfans go, she was a genius. That hat is just so non typical of a dress fedora. And she altered the hat to represent what she saw as Indy's brown fedora. Her vision still stands out today as this board has been a witness to.
And Bufflehead - I am keeping my fingers crossed for the front pinch as well
Take care,

This is off the hat discussion but it does relate to the photo posted by Jaredraptor. The storage unit for the hats - a buddy of mine did the packaging for a product that looked identical to this. My guess is that it is the product. It is made of canvas and has velcro holders on the top so you can fasten in to the clothing bar in your closet. The company gives him samples for the photos and he gave me one a few years ago.
I may not have the Indy 4 hat but I do have the Indy 4 hat holder!

Well, if by the end of Indy 4 the fedora has a Raiders pinch, then my hat'll be SA.

Thanks for that Mr. Brody...
Despite the grainy quality, it's the only shot we have of the fedora on Ford's head from a frontal angle. Humm, the hat is pulled back a bit, but it's my impression that this hat has no 'Raiders' in it at all. The crown isn't as big, pronounced as some of us have ventured. And the brim is narrow. No front pinch... This looks to me to be virutally 100% LC...
But it makes sense, I guess. That's probably the hats they had lying around at Skywalker Ranch. It may have been a matter of getting the hat provider to make exact dulplicates... The same can be said for the jacket, by the way.
Not my favorite Indy fedora, but at least we don't have a ToD taper trainwreck...

I agree. I think at this point I can only say that I don't see anything I dislike.Ken wrote:I think its a little early to second guess some of the gear though - we have clear shots of the shirt from Spielberg's publicity still. But until I see nice good stills of the rest of the gear I'll hold off making too many judgements.

In the end I think most of us will be satisfied with what we'll get to see in the movie. Oh yes, there will be something for all of us to nit pick in one fashion or another, but all in all the "look" will give us all our Indy high that we have been craving for some time now. I know we won't get to have the 'Raiders" Indy, bit it will be Indy nonetheless.
Cheers!

He made mention that he was heading out of town. With the amount of hats he has to make for us, he NEEDS the vacation!

Sorry. Marc actually posted the photos - You replied to Marc's message and had the photos in the reply. My mistake...Jaredraptor wrote:I posted a pic?

My guess would be that the one with the tighter pinch has been used (or used more). I think that's the one that gets picked up in the video clip, too, supporting the idea that the second hat is the one currently seeing action. Just my hypothesis.IndyFan89 wrote: Why does the top hat seem to have the LC pinch while the second one has a tighter pinch?
Or maybe, when the aliens clone a bunch of Indy's, the only way you can tell the real Indy is by the tighter pinch of his hat and the off-center placement of his jacket pockets!

We really need some better refence shots of the hat - I'm sure they will release some new pics soon.

I don't think that's a lighting trick: comparing that hat and my Mayser (held at the same angle), the pinches look nearly identical. Now we need to find out if that's a film hat or just a publicity hat.Mark Brody wrote:Another tease. There no knowing if this is even a film hat, or just a publicity-photo-display-only hat. Pinch looks a little tighter in this one, though it may just be a trick of the light.
