: Gutn Tag, Herr Jonses. I once went down to San Francisco for a day, and there was a hat shop near the coast. (It was in Oakland, actually) The man there was very nice and informative, especially with all my inquiries about 'Indiana Jones' REAL fedora'. tried one on, (a Stetson called The Temple) and was enchanted. The price was $99.95, PLUS tax. It had mink fur in the felt, and was awfully nice, but looking back now, the crown seemed too short. How high should it be to be considered "authentically Indy"? I'm going to DISNEYLAND at last, and hear the fedoras there are WOOL felt, and not exactly accurate. For $36, should I just buy the $100 Stetson?

I´ve bought the $36 fedora and despite the teardrop crown I think it
is nice. It is awfully inaccurate I know, but it is a good fedora to wear when you know you could loose it or otherwise damage it. I wouldn´t dream of wearing a $100 fedora much less a Herbert Johnson in the rain or on vacation. I like do adventurous stuff so I would be constantly cluthing my hat if I went white water rafting with a $100 hat on. It really comes down to what you want to do with your hat on.
If you just want it for collecting go for the Stetson.
I like your alias Ulla, from the Max McCoy novel right?, I´m from Denmark myself so I thought it was fun that Indy teamed up with a
Dane.

best,
Krede
