Straw Indy fedora?

Arkansas Russell · Post by **Arkansas Russell** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 2:00 pm

I was just wondering if there may be a straw Indy in the offering with the new film coming out.
I remember seeing photos of Stetsons straw Indiana Jones hat while not SA it was a nice looking straw hat.
I have a Peters Brothers straw Indy and its great, but a fellow can never have too mant fedoras!

I thought I had saved a photo of the hat and I found it.

From what I understand this was Stetsons Indiana Jones hat in straw.
Maybe from the 90's????

I quite sure something will surface once the summer arrives. DP will have something to start with. But I do enjoy my Peters Bros. Indy Straw.

Cheers!

You are so right Dan, if not for you I would not have gotten my PB Indy straw. It is a great hat, I left mine with the center dent and have really enjoyed it that way.
I am always on the lookout for a good looking hat, and if it is anywhere close to the looks of the Indy hat that is an added plus!

Um, it's from the movie Witness.

It's your typical Amish straw hat.

funny you should post this. i was just reading about the National Park Service Ranger's hat and they are issued 2 - one felt one for winter and a straw one for summer. I have read threads here that talk about how hot the hats can be in the summer and wonderred if anyone made a straw indy hat and then i find this post.

Seriously though, would the straw Indy be a very durable hat? I don't see it being too esthetically pleasing....personal taste I guess..

Well ... I guess it pleases my esthetics just fine.

Daniel Jones has one although he has more of a c-crown crease to the crown, in fact that is his hat in my avatar.
