Wow...you're making a guy think :-k (Very Dangerous...very dangerous)! As I recall, I thought he was carrying a dark (either black or very dark charcoal) homburg in the airport scenes. I could very well be wrong on this, but that is what is pictured in my mind :roll: , and we know what a cluttered place my mind can be, at times. W>

I watched the part about 3 times and it looked like a black fedora to me. It was bluray and pretty clear

Very well could be...as I said, looked like homburg to me. Always thought it was too bad that there wasn't at least one shot of him with it on. It would have made for an interesting contrast to the scene. W>

I don't know where I saw it, but one of the cut scenes shows Indy and Henry walking through the airport wearing a black homburg, and it was very clearly a homburg, not a fedora. Also, I remember reading once that the black coat and homburg were stolen from Pat Roach's character in order to cover up Indy's very recognizable appearance.

This is a great resource for screencaps.

http://movie-screencaps.com/indiana-jon ... e-1989/47/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The scene in question is on page 47.

Indy is definitely carrying a hat. Very well could be a homburg.

There's two deleted scenes mentioned here that help with the explanation and show Indy wearing the hat in the comic, though it's a fedora.

http://www.theraider.net/films/crusade/ ... scenes.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I recall reading that the black coat was too large to be a contrast of the gag in ROLA when Indy steals the first soldier's uniform and it's too small. Then to be further contrasted by the white uniform coat that's too small again.

Here is about the best one from the the screen cap site Indiana Jeff posted. You can see the pencil roll in the brim.

No. There is a black Homburg that was filmed in his hand but was never incorporated into the story. Just because he carried it doesn't make it an 'Indy hat'. ;)

JMO.

Well, any hat Indy touches, becomes an Indy hat. That's a good enough excuse to get another hat

Yes, that's what I was describing! Also, I once saw a clip that showed Indy like that, pulling Henry's hat off.
