Did you all know that Indy's hat isn't actually a fedora? Read on!

In fact Indy's hat is a "Trilby" according to the HJ website, and the information I have recieved from them.

As one of the posts below points out, the fedora is a flimsy littles thing and was considered the "poorman's Trilby". The trilby is somewhat more rigid, and looks dressier...but, as our man Indy has shown us, with a little beating - It can be a piece of every adventure.
