Description

Harrison Ford's signature screen worn "Indiana Jones" fedora from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. (Paramount, 1989) This iconic fur felt fedora was worn by Harrison Ford in his first scene of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in which "Indy" is on the deck of the boat, wrestling for the Cross of Coronado, before walking across the screen and being hit by a surge of water. The water is seen to flatten the top of the hat he is wearing. It's in this "flattened" state that this particular hat was left to dry, after having been washed off Harrison's head during one of the takes. It was retained by a stunt-double who salvaged it from the water tank. The hat's still supple and can be adjusted from the water flattened pose back into the 'hero' pose. The hat is marked in black pen number "7" and has the initials "T.N." handwritten on the inside. It has the blue stamped Herbert Johnson liner (Herbert Johnson is the famed British company that custom-made "Indy's" iconic headwear), but the liner shows evidence of the brown color having run into the white from having been in the water. The liner glue has also come off in a number of areas, again, most likely caused by the effect of the water. The hat is size 7 1/8 U.S. (58 U.K.), and measures approx. 14 in diameter (back to front) and 4 in. from top to bottom. In overall very good condition.
