: the Stetson Nostolga or the Stetson Temple?
: Regards, Dan
: P.S.
: i was thinking the temple.

Dan, given the choice between those two hats, I would take the Nostalgia. I own one of each, and the Temple has a tapered crown. This kinda destroys any Indy look that you are probaly trying to achieve. His fedora has sides that go straight up, and the Nostalgia does have this characteristic. The Nostalgia comes with an open crown so you can fashion it the way you think best matches Indy's fedora. My Nostalgia and Temple both came with a 1 3/4 " grosgrain ribbon which is a little wider than Indy's, so see if you can order one with the 1 1/2 " ribbon. I think the Nostalgia comes in several different brim sizes. I would go with the 2 3/4 ". All and all I think you will be happier with this hat. Steve
