Description

Harrison Ford "Indiana Jones" signature screen-matched fedora hat from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Original iconic fedora hat worn by Harrison Ford as the legendary archaeologist/adventurer, Indiana Jones. Hand made of brown rabbit felt, the hat features a dark brown ribbon and brown leather interior hatband stamped in gold with block initials "IJ" and with hat maker Herbert Johnson's company name and address in London. In the second installment of the immensely popular Indiana Jones franchise, the unique folds on the hat's ribbon screen-match the hat worn by Indy as he approaches the shrine in the impoverished Indian village from which the Sankara stone was stolen. The hat was originally obtained from a former employee of hat maker Herbert Johnson and comes with a signed LOA. The hat was signed by Harrison Ford in silver ink on the interior leather hatband at a 2009 charity event. Included is a photo of Ford with the hat at the event. An extraordinary artifact that is instantly recognizable and synonymous with perhaps the greatest and most beloved character of the silver screen. In 2018 a screen-matching Indy fedora from Raiders of the Lost Ark sold for an astounding $413,000!
