Best (semi) accurate Indy fedora for kids?

Hey guys! My 8-year-old boy asked for an Indiana Jones hat for Christmas (chip off the ol' block.
). Par for the course with 8-year-old boys, he's quite rough on his things and also very forgetful. As such, I don't wanna buy him something too pricey, but I also don't want it to look like it came off the Halloween rack at Walmart.
Any input/suggestions you guys may have would be greatly appreciated!

Would love to see responses to this as well actually! My 5yo son has been asking for one.

If you're not too anti- Dorfman/Pacific, Kohl's has a good price on their official kids Indy.
TOTALLY wrong in design, but at least it does come with that 'nifty' pin.

USWings has the exact same hat for $10 more on their website.

Ah! Good options, and great price point! Do you know if it's crushable? I was hoping to avoid the super rigid version.

It's wool, Definitely crushable.

For kids I would get a Dorfman Pacific, as a lad I couldn’t tell the difference and I remember wearing it all the time.

Wool is going to be your best option for his age. Search "wool brown fedoras" online and you'll find lots of choices for under $25.

Slightly off topic, but since we're talking about 'kids' items....were you aware of this new item?

I may have one on order for a grandson this Christmas....

Wested also makes a nice kid-sized Indy jacket.

As does Wings.
A bit more expensive, though we're comparing steerhide to lambskin here, so it would be.
