: I've had an Indiana Jones fedora for several years now, but I have a question:

: The entire brim of the hat is sloped upwards when stored in its box, but when worn the front of the brim is sloped downwards (simply by pulling the front of the brim down).

: Should the back of the brim remain sloped upwards, or should it also be sloped downwards (I've always thought that the back of the brim remains upwards, but I'm hearing some things to the contrary)?

It depends on how you wish to wear the hat. Many fedoras have the front "lip" of the crown downward and the back lip upward.

Indy's hat, specifically, has the front and back lips going in a downward direction, forming a slight arc (no pun intended).
