I don't normally read "In Style" magazine, but recently I was waiting at my parent's house and I thumbed through this one. The question asked was, "C'mon tell us. What's the one thing in your closet that you would never toss?". Do you think that Harrison's maybe attached to the Indy character? He's at the very least attached to the hat. Cheers

I wouldn't either!!

Same here.
I still have my grandfather's fedora from the 40's.
Too small for me though.

Ah, it doesh the heart good to know that.

Come on... you know when he's out on his ranch he puts it on and hums the Raider march. I would bet the house he's on his horse right now doing some stunts for the next flick as we speak.

I wonder which hat it is? I suspect an LC but wouldn't it be awesome if he still had an original ROTLA?

Renderking,

When I was first scrolling down and saw your post, I thought you'd be saying you would try to talk him into a Fed!

I wonder if he considers his Indy hat the best hat he's owned in twenty years?!

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

"I still have the hat from Indiana Jones and I'll never get rid of it."

As a fellow Herbert Johnson owner, I can't say I blame the man. ;-) Go Harrison! You are Indiana Jones!!!

I can't think of why he wouldn't have the original Raiders hat. It probably has the most sentimental value, not to mention that the Smithsonian has one of the LC's. Ridley Scot said that when Harrison took the meetings for Blade Runner he would show up wearing the hat.

Didn't know that. That's classic. He should wear it more often.

Harrison is the man and Raiders is the hat !!!!

It would be interesting if a bunch of us showed up at his place with digitial cameras, measuring instruments, felt samples, etc etc and asked him if we could see his fedora..... nothing about interviewing him, or his movies, just the lid. Ha!

Get me his E-Mail... and I just might do that!

Wouldn't be supprised!

Rundquist,

I may be faulty in my memory, but I thought the story was that Ridley wanted Harrison to wear a fedora in Blade Runner, but he met with him on the set of Raiders to discuss the Deckard role, decided to nix the idea... that's why they went with the crew cut.

Atleast that's Ridley's version, if memory serves, from an interview I saw once.

LOL!!!!!

Good one.

Ford has been asked this question for years, and is on record humming and hawing, and saying 'I think there's one tossed in the back of a closet shelf somewhere. I'm not sure.' Now he's asked, and it's 'Absolutely, sure, wouldn't you?!' Wonder what changed? (grins) Regards. Michaelson

From what I recall, the hair cut was HF's idea and had it done without prior notice.

The guy I got my latest HJ from, which was meant for Last Crusade, but never picked up by Lucasfilms, told me he has two of the Poets circa Raiders. I've been emailing hom, trying to gets some pics of those hats, but so far, to no avail. He did say the felt was darker and the crown higher, but that's about it. His answer to Harry's question is definately no.

That's true. The two stories don't cancel each other out. Scot says specifically that Ford showed up for meetings "Wearing the bloody hat". He was cast for BR at the end of filming Raiders. The producers and Ridley decided that they wanted no association of the Indy character with the Deckard character. Cheers

regarding the fellow with the Raiders-era Poet: Dakota, I've been to that fellow's house and I have a decent digital camera. If you can arrange it, I'd be happy to go down there and take some photos of the hat and some measurements. The only hat I have to compare it to is my Fed Deluxe, which could possibly be helpful...

Interesting that Deckard's supervisor Bryant is seen wearing a brown
fedora. I guess some things don't change in future L.A.

Thanks for the offer, Havershaw. I'll e-mail him about this.

Well, it's good to know that the ol' synapses are still firing.

I would not doubt that Ford has an entire set of Gear left over from one of the films.

I remember reading once that after the shooting of Sabrina (1995) starring Harrison Ford, Greg Kinnear, his co-star, said he knew who the real star was when he saw a trunk full of clothes from the movie and the trunk was labeled "Mr. Harrison Ford". It contained all of the attire HF had used during the filming of the movie. It probably included the Homburg hat he used in the movie also.

So I am sure that after filming the Indiana Jones series he was given much of the gear he used while filming those movies. It may be in his contract to do so. He may have several hats, including the grey ones and the different styles.

Just thought I'd share.

I seem to recall reading many years ago that the "cairo hat" was stolen some time after the completion of principal filming..........anyone have any info on that?

Yeah, I stole it. Sorry guys, but I just couldn't help myself! I mean, I told Harrison that I just wanted to borrow it for awhile, but he wouldn't listen! To be honest, he was really ego tripping about the whole Indiana Jones thing, and I was tired of hearing it, so I just took the hat from his closet one day when he was out of the country, filming Return of the Jedi in England.

Okay, so now that everybody knows the truth about why my HJ looks so authentic, can you keep it a secret? I think Harrison has forgotten about the whole incident, and I'd hate for him to press charges if he ever found out.


LOL


-Dale

Whipwarrior, you should be ashamed of yourself!!!!! Now march on over to HF's house and give him his hat back

Nothing doing. )

The Cairo hat was stolen? Then it must have been the Japanese who swiped it, because the hat for Toys McCoy Indy is obviously a copy of the Cairo fedora.
It becomes elementary now that Dale is Japanese

LOL

*shakes head*

When you DO march on over there to return it, snag something else.
Also, maybe we should show up at your place with the measuring tape and felt samples...

Byrant was most likely a Gearhead... Perhaps even Michaelson's clone? Hey, this was set in 2019, wasn't it?

What I want to know though is if HF still has that famous black vest from a certain other trilogy still sitting in his closet...

Clone? Heaven forbid!

Regard! Michaelson

I would like to think he does as well! Star Wars put Ford on the map IMHO. Hey, he could wear the Hat and vest and become...HANSOLOJONES

Nah. WE'VE already GOT one of them.

Regard! Michaelson

I recently came across one of those brief clips in a magazine in a shop somewhere. It was a full length of Ford and the question was along the lines of how he felt about becoming Indiana Jones again after so many years. His response was close to, 'I don't think the pants will fit, but I know the hat will'.
