Well, I am, but that's because I haven't gotten around to getting a quality fedora yet...but if it were a good one, I'd wear my archaic item from the haberdashery proudly.

I would be a little embarresed, but I too would be proud to show I am a true Indy fan

It's not embarassing for like a 30 year old, but when you're a kid or a teen it is. It's in my opinion for people who have reached a certain maturity. Personally I wouldn't wear a feora in public, maybe beacause I don't have one. Then again who cares what other pople think, if you want to wear one go ahead (beeing ridiculous never killed anyone ;) ).

I get embarassed if my shirt is from the 80s, of course a old fedora would be out of the question.:)

Whenever i have to mow the lawn, i wear my hat, which my dad calls "a safari hat". Now, it's not quite what indy wears; it's more of a khaki color and it's not the same material, but i still feel like indy wearing it, haha!

I just purchased one online...need to wear one for my short film. I am not sure I would wear it otherwise except in the privacy of my own home. :)

This is an interesting question.

Although, I'm sure I look okay in my Fedora, I do sometimes feel a little sef-conscious wearing my hat outside. Perhaps it's because not many people wear hats these days and perhaps it's also because I am female.

I did once wear a black trilby to work and many people said I suited it which I thought was cool.

Came back from the convention at Milton Keynes today and while I was there, I wandered around most of the time with my Indy gear on (minus weapons) and most people hardly batted an eyelid, so a lot of the time, I feel that it is just my imagination.

I think people should wear what they want and not worry too much about what other's think and vaxer has a point...

I once wore my (old, crappy) fedora when I flew across the country from my home in Connecticut to Seattle, Washington where I go to college. I felt a little weird about it at first, but after a few people "nice hat" I felt a bit more confident. I even wore it around my college for a few days after that, but stopped after maybe a week. I plan on getting an Akubra soon, which'll look vastly better than my old fedora. I'll wear it next time I fly (gotta get it out to Washington for Halloween somehow!), so I'll see if I get any more positive comments about it then.

I wear my fedora on airplane flights, it's handy for covering your face while you doze.:)
I wear another hat for work, so I rarely wear my fedora at home and when I'm out.

There's a kid in my newspaper class who wears a leather jacket (Indy style) and an imitation fedora he got from Disneyland. He looks pretty confident wearing them, but I, personally, wouldn't be caught dead wearing a fedora in public.
