Why not? Does the addition of a plain black tie really alter his look that much?loganbush said:
Jeez, soon people will be complaining about the lack of arms on Indy's shirt at the end of Temple.

I feel I must complain about the lack of arms in Indy's shirt in Temple of Doom. This is a disgrace. I want an Indy with TWO sleeves - not one.

Yes, but the question is, why is Indy missing sleeves? I mean, was that the producer's choice? Does it make sense that they are departing from the previous film? Will we be able to buy a sleevless shirt for out custom made costumes? Personally I am really rather confused.

I ripped a sleeve off my Indy outfit to look like Temple Of Doom. Unfortunately,I ripped off the sleeve on the wrong shirt. It was my father's.

i think it was it look properly with his father .
so he looks a little more sophisticated

I've talked about this a bit in the past within the context of how Last Crusade very specifically deals in a way even more so than the other two films about the fine line between the civilized and the barbaric. Indy's necktie, and the fact that he engages in an entire action sequence in a suit, are a part of this meditation on chivalry and such, same with it taking place in Europe for much of the time. His father being there has to do with this too.

I think so, too. He wanted to impress his father (or at least not give him anything to criticise!), hence the tie and the cleanly shaven look he sports throughout Last Crusade.
And while I do love the sexy, sweaty, scruffy-faced Indy we see in Temple of Doom, my favorite Indy outfit is his Crusade one. It's just... cuter than the others.

Same, I liked the tie too.
But the one sleeved rugged shirt in Temple of Doom was the most badass look of all time.

It's as simple as that. Why didn't Indy bare his chest at Club Obi-Wan instead ofotto rahn said:
wearing a tuxedo? It would probably be normal for the man to wear a tie with his
gear if hot climates weren't involved (not to mention the homage to some heroes
from the '40s serials).
In '89, I didn't like the tie but now I do. It would be boring if he had the same
look all the time. The new movie will obviously give us The Classic Look and
almost certainly, a new one, as well. One highlight of "Mystery of the Blues"
is that his appearance is different.
The stick-out moment for me with the tie was in the castle hall and Indy says,
"'Cause it's wired." - I remember it looked so absurd hanging there although
not as strange as seeing Indy in a tux the first time around.

My guess is that he wore the tie because he knew he was going to see his Dad. All men, atleast ones who grew up with a strict father, always do certain things expected by their fathers, even as adults. If I know my father is coming into town, I will go get a haircut. It's strange. But that is why I think Indy is wearing a tie.
