DocWhiskey said:Completely different case, but Indy is always supposed to be in the same adventure gear, but if he survived a nuclear explosion and was scrubbed down , wouldn't his gear be considered radioactive and be destroyed? You mean to tell me the fedora from Area 51 is the same as in Akator? Hmmmm...
Violet Indy said:Maybe Indy's just got a closet full of khaki shirts, pants, leather jackets and fedoras both brown and grey? Kind of like Batman in the old TV series has a spare suit in the Batmobile? It would explain why the hat has been so good to not lose it's shape (alright, alright each film had a different hat but you get idea).
Jokes aside, yeah, I did think about that when I saw the film.
Actually, I've long assumed he does indeed have a whole slew of those same shirts and pants, and also has had more than one or two of the jackets and hats in his adventuring career. In fact, we know most of those items have been replaced, given all the damage we've seen them take in previous installments - back of shirt lashed open when whipped, sleeve torn off shirt, hole torn in knee of pants leg, bullet holes in left sleeves of shirt and jacket, etc.; he's even had a substantial hole burned through the side of his shoulder bag, so at the very least it's been extensively patched, if not replaced entirely. Moreover, even putting aside the extreme stresses his adventuring puts on his clothing and gear, a single copy of an outfit is just not going to last forever if somebody wears it on a regular basis for a period of 22 years or more.
