Wich fedora for my use?

Post by Oby1ITA »

Hello there i was thinking to buy my first fedora and i'd like to dress it like The Last Crusade or Kingdom of Crystal Skull.

The problem is if it exists for the use i'm going to do with it.
First of all i want it because i like it!
But then...i'm also going to use it in a few "Airsoft" games that takes place in an old castle, a special event where i'd like to dress like Indy. :lol:


So the hat i'm looking must be in Fur Felt, Crushable (if not, the important is that is tough anyway),can pass through some vegetation, and can take some hit if it get hit (our airsoft bullets can be shot for a maximum range of 35 metres and people never shoot closer to 5 metres to avoid hurt).


k....that's all.

My Budget is around 100-120 dollars (i can go further to 30-40 dollars more if necessary)

Any ideas?


Thanks anticipated! ;)



As italian i'd like also to salute all italian indy fans here :D

I suggest you the new Akubra Federation IV. Post me a PM if you need further info in Italian.

(Ti consiglio senza dubbio il Federation IV: costa circa 64 euro, piu' una trentina di spedizione dall'Australia e in 3-4 giorni ti arriva un cappello magnifico e resistentissimo. :wink:)

I concur. For your price range and needs, the Fed IV is the perfect hat.
