It's kind of like how the Leather jacket was originally designed and made in the U.S. but then changed in England by Peter Botwright, who was known to be a good source for jackets by Noel Howard.

Did David Morgan give you details on why the production supposedly originally picked one of his hats as a film prop? I would love to hear more about this- and also how you make out turning your Akubra into an Indy Hat. The one thing I am not sure about is the color. The picture on the website looked more yellow brown and not as reddish mink brown as the Indy Fedora. If you have luck with this, though, I may do the same thing!

I wonder if the Raiders hat actually had a 5.5 inch crown- because it does look somewhat taller than the others. What do you think?

Cheers,
Abner
