I think if Indiana Jones wore a cotton sort of jacket instead (whether safari style or more military), he would still be seen as a cool character, although I think the leather naturally adds a bit more to it. It's leather, when people think of movie characters wearing leather, many think of it as being cool.

Not fond memories.

I actually find the Roger Moore safari shirt/jacket look kind of stylish. As a matter in fact, my purchase of this shirt:

Was sort of inspired by this shirt or jacket when I was watching The Man With the Golden Gun:

Dislike the flared pants though. Roger Moore's also my second favorite James Bond after Sean Connery.
Anyway, I wore the Cabela's shirt while hiking in the mountains, it protected my fair skin from the sun adequately enough. I had to wear a straw hat though, as the heat was a bit much for felt.
