On a note of sincerity… we are ALL headed in the direction of “Old Indy”. I love that Harrison making Indy V increases the longevity of wearing gear for us older fans. And if he didn’t, there is Old Indy from the show. They’ve done a wonderful job of not capping the age limit.
Hey, I’m already there, but was wearing this ‘gear’ before Indiana Jones was even a fashion statement or ‘film idea’!
Fedora and leather jacket was pretty much the uniform of the steel worker and railroad yard man from the 40’s through the late 60’s. Those of us who were raised in steel mill and railroad towns didn’t think twice about seeing men walking around town in what is now considered ‘Indy gear’.
As to longevity wear for older fans? You’ll find when you do get older you really don’t care one way or the other what people think about what you have on.

Ask anyone over 60+! We’ll tell you!

Absolutely on the mark -- Mark! What I wear is now (and for the most part always has been) my choice -- my business, etc. And, like stated ('always has been') but now at 70 -- if someone thinks I look odd -- then so be it -- I look odd (to them), to me, whatever the choices - I'm at home with my choices !

Gimme any guff about it and I'll bookend ya.
Love this… I was one of those who was disappointed they didn’t include George Hall’s Indy in the DVDs. Now, if they’d like to re-film those with Harrison, that’d be fine too, but I like the idea of old Indy. (I’ve had an Old Indy cane for a while - just in case of course)
