Special request from a fellow Indy fan, the Temple of Doom Airplane hat.

I think is pretty close.

Yeah, this style was criticize for years.
But I think is a more suitable style for many more faces than Raiders.

Thanks for your comments!

Thanks! We pursuit screen-accuracy, but I think we built them better than the original :lol:

Crown height = 5.5" open crown
Brim = 2.75" front/back x 2.5" on the sides

Cheers.-
