True or Fake?
Just found this while surfing the net:
"
Company from Seville will produce the hat from Indiana Jones 5
The hat company from Seville Industrias Sombrereras Españolas SA (Isesa) will design and manufacture the hat of the hero in the fifth film in the saga of Indiana Jones and initiate a plan for international expansion into Western Europe, USA and Japan.
Isesa sources added that the previous film dealt with the mass production but not its design but for the next installment will take care of designing and manufacturing at its facilities in Salteras (Sevilla) in collaboration with the craftsmen who design the model of the earlier film."

So I continued my search and found this:
"They said that after signing a preliminary agreement with the company Bilt Adventure Hats, which was what made the hat for the last Indiana Jones movie, are awaiting a final validation of the prototype to start producing before the summer, a process that, as indicated by the sources, "was delayed due to the effects of transport strike" last week."

More sites saying the same:

But I found anothers sites saying something different, and they didn't say anything about Indiana Jones 5, just that a company from Spain will produce the Indy hat:
In English:

"In full boom after the last installment of the series, the company Isesa and Germanic-American Adventure Hats Bilt recently signed a contract to teach Spanish that will manufacture large-scale exact replica of the hat that looks Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
'Indiana Jones' fans know that the hat is identical to the film and there is much anticipation to get it. Those responsible for Adventure Hats Bilt speak of several thousand units to start, "notes the director general of ISESA.
This is not the first time the company makes high quality replicas of famous adventurer hat. For years, Isesa makes this model in rabbitskin premium for Herbert Johnson, a British firm that designed and supplied the fedoras used by Harrison Ford in the first three installments."

In this topic in a spanish forum, the fans are in doubt and many don't believe in the news:
