: In 1938, a man driving across Europe in a sports car with a beautiful woman wore a tie. It's not until he gets to Iskendrun that Indy is without the tie. Look at all the serials from that time. Practically everyone is wearing a tie and a fedora, unless they're in some kind of costume, like Spysmasher or Captain Marvel. Normal wear right up till the early Sixties really. Now you can get some sleep.

Yes, but a traveling gentleman usually wore a suit, too--not an "adventurer's" outfit. So why not wingtips with his costume? Alden makes plenty of those. And, of course, I'd like to have seen Indy in a pair of Sansabelt slacks but, unfortunately, they weren't available back then (Note: the Browning Hi-Power wasn't available when "Raiders" took place, either--some anachronisms are allowed). Instead of the tie, he could've sported a groovin' pukka shell choker (on a manly dude like Indy, "necklace" is not the right word--and that gas mask bag could've been a man's European carry-all, NOT a "guy purse".)

Thank God for the seventies and manmade fibers!!! BeeGees rule!!!
Travolta for Indiana Jones in Indy IV!!! Help, I just hurt myself...
