Other than wearing the Indy getup every day, what else does a fedora go good with? Jeans and a t-shirt? Obviously not shorts and flip flops but I'm looking for some everyday wear. Any suggestions?
The fedora (and it?s cousins the trilby, homburg, bowler &etc) is second only to the black duster in the heirarchy of Megadork Garments. Rare is the Dungeons & Dragons game without one player wearing a fedora he thinks makes him look like Indiana Jones. The sad fact is that these megadorks have tainted the hat for everyone else. If you want to wear a hat, you have to: A) have a great reason or B) look really awesome.
Deadlock said:Since you bought a hat expressly because it is an Indiana Jones hat, trying to wear in non-costume contexts (and be taken seriously) may be impossible. Take a look at this blog post.
If you're not inclined to read the whole thing... this cuts to the chase.

I've long since dropped the Indy look. Went to school a full year dressed as Indy. Simply put, I wish I never had. I never got anything negative out of it, but it always sticks around. I've since discovered leather pants and long hair has a better reaction among the peers I was aiming for.

My friends call me indy, im known through the school as "The Guy who wears weird clothes" I've won a few school awards from it, but in the beginning of the year i was an outcast and people were like "That nerd who dresses like Indiana Jones" to me now they are like (because im more... popular i guess) its more of "That ballsy guy who dresses as Indiana Jones" which i am completely fine with. All though, being popular isnt much fun, it makes things easier, and harder. Its always more of a competition with people, although i dont really care what people think, but people dont mess with you when you're popular as much... but i (luckily) am popular, but i hang with the unpopulars, because they are my real friends... But yeah, thats what wearing indy clothes has brought me... Good and bad.
