Jefemmefatale said:As each movie in the series has a different hat your preference may depend on your favourite movie. The Akubra Adventurer is more consistent with the Temple of Doom hat as it has slightly tapered sides when shaped where the Federation is more desirable for the first movie fans as the sides are parallel. The hat block used on the Federation is pre decimal which gives it the traditional old 40's world appeal. Also the Federation can be ordered in Carbon Grey which is accurate to the Grey Clipper Fedora used in the two scene where Indy boards the plane and at the end in DC in the first movie. A word of caution if you order the Deluxe the grey is a fair bit lighter in colour. The traditional and more accurate colour of the Indy Fedora in the movies is Sable and not chocolate brown although the brown does look appealing. There are a few Australian internet sites that a person can purchase these hats but check with the seller as some will shape them at no extra cost.
