: : 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 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.

KREDE! How nice of you to reply!! Yes, Ulla is my favorite heroine. She is just so perfect, but more like Indy in that way!! I try imagining her somewhat like me, (ha ha) so it's easier imagining that I'm watching the movie than reading it. (If that makes any sense whatsoever) You are Danish? Superior! I personally wish I was European, other than living in the U.S.A. I am not dissing America though! (Don't get me wrong!) It's just that in California, at least, there aren't any European languages offered in schools >( Indy turned me on to German, believe it or not, James Bond to Russian, and Ulla to Danish. (I know zilch of it though!) Anyway, back to Indy. I might check out the hats at Disneyland, but still splurge and buy absolutely everything Indy in the gift shop. (A bull in an indy shop!!!!!!)
"Liebe",
