Sean Connery "Prof. Henry Jones" hat from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Sean Connery "Prof. Henry Jones" hat from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. (Paramount, 1989) This is the brown and black tweed hat worn by Sean Connery throughout Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It is made from a specially commissioned fabric and features an interior Bermans & Nathans costumers label sewn inside which reads "Sean Connery, Henry, Indiana Jones III". After a decade of following the intrepid archaeologist Indiana Jones on his adventures, we were introduced to his father! Sean Connery was thought to be the only actor with the necessary gravitas required to be Indy's dad, and he did a magnificent job as "Henry Jones" senior. Connery's character was to remain in the same costume throughout the adventure and a great deal of thought went into his look and his style. Costume designer Anthony Powell decided that the air of a scholar was required and he based the design of the character on his own university professor right down to the rimless glasses. For the fabric of the outfit, Powell sought inspiration from his own grandfather, who was always resplendent in tweed. The hat remains in amazing condition and is instantly recognizable to moviegoers the world over.
