Best Scene for a KOTCS Hat

Post by AttyOzzy »

Hi All,

I have always liked the KOTCS hat. It is usually tied with Raiders as being my favorite hat.

I am contemplating purchasing a KOTCS style hat from one of our awesome vendors.

I anticipate that one of the ordering questions will be, "What movie scene?"

So, my question is this: Does anyone have a scene from KOTCS wherein they think the hat looks its best?

Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

I've always been partial tot he opening scene hat. It's so iconic because it uses the shadow to such a great effect. Plus, Indy has just returned from quite a trip and the hat doesn't look so pristine.

Even looks like it has a bit of a turn, nice choice for a KOTCS.
I have one from Mr. deli, and I use for my dress brown fedora.

+1 on the opening scene hat. It feels like everyone took extra care in those shots to make sure that everything "felt" like an Indy movie, and that includes some nice angles on the famous hat.

In CS, I believe so. Every pic I see of the hat in various scenes fro the back has the brim curl. LC had it and TOD had it as well but there were a few hats that weren't.

Are there any scenes where the hat looks bad, because I can’t think of any in particular.
