    Hot diggity damn, it finally happened. A video about a very obscure niche thing that actually concerns me. I remember the 8 years of research I did before daring to purchase my first Indy hat. And to this day I think that I might have been too hasty.
    Another fun rabbit hole concerns the second-most iconic item of Indy's gear: the whip. Trying to find the perfect whip to complement a full Indy ensemble did indeed result in me learning how to make quality whips from scratch. I started learning around 16 years ago, and I'm now at a point where I'm reasonably satisfied with the results. Plus, I got to do some fun custom orders for my friend who works as a dominatrix.

    As an enjoyer of Quentin Tarantino’s movies (not a “fan” but I’ve loved every movie I’ve seen from him). He’s definitely a weirdo. I don’t think anyone is denying that. But his film expertise is pretty unmatched for any famous director. Not just techniques, but knowledge of movies in general. He’ll pull some kind of style/editing/technique from some obscure 50’s Swedish B movie he saw as a kid and use it in a film he’s working on.

    Hey just wanted to say amazing video! I’m unfortunately one of those fans who care way too much about the hat history. I did want to say that Indygear is a great resource but it hasn’t been fully updated in a little bit so some of the pages don’t have the most recent info. A couple years ago Herbert Johnson got a new hatter, Michelle, who spent a lot of time sourcing hats from Mr. Swales during the raiders era in order to recreate the perfect Raiders hat and match weight and color of the felt. So Herbert Johnson is now back on the map and now considered THE place to get a hat among most Indy fans again.

    I remember at the Great Movie Ride at Disney World, there was a fact about Raiders that they purposely had Indy never lose his hat because the 1940s serials usually had heroes' hats stay on during any fight or action scene. There was also something about how it was considered to be poor taste for a gentlemen to be without his hat.
    Also respect to Gabi for being able to make a video about Indy and not resort to being one of those idiots that goes "hur dur there's only 3 films. What 4th film? We're so clever" KOTCS isn't that bad and the haters online are so annoying for trying to gatekeep the series

    Great suggestion from your Dad. I liked how he knew you were covering a certain topic and he gave you merch relating to it. My Dad was the same way, I'd tell him that I was looking into an musical group and the next time I visit a CD from that group is in his hands.

    I showed the new film's trailer to my mom without saying anything. She didn't know they were making another one. When the silhouette of the hat appeared she immediately got up from her chair and screamed "INDIANA JONES???", and her eyes glued to the screen. I think she didn't even blink for two whole minutes lol.
    I'll be so mad if the movie ends up being bad... but there's hope. I trust James Mangold.

    The whole Indiana Jones fandom is rather unique. It spans generations, all nations, and all walks of life, and engenders a very deep love of the franchise, yet there isn't that much media to consume or that much merchandise compared to something like Star Wars, so you get people who are super into all of it and know everything about what little there is. These people often have high priced replicas (usually a collection of the artifacts) or real props displayed, they collect and replicate super detailed clothing from the films, and they have an encyclopedic knowledge of not just the films and their productions, but also all the novels, comics, the tv show, video games, and toy lines. They have the amount of love the most devoted fans of large franchises have, but it's focused on a much smaller area of culture. They also make a staggering amount of fan films, of varying quality. They train with whips in their backyards, just in case they ever have to swing across a canyon or disarm a gunman. They're dedicated, and I see hat specific posts almost every day.

    I had one of those Stetson's in the 90s.
    I macramed a rainbow band for it and wore it often
    One night I'm sitting on the front porch of a friend talking with their neighbor (fellow on spectrum) about how much I adored Tom Clancy's books, which turned to him mentioning that Ford was his favourite actor. This prompted me to run in, grab the hat, ahow him the Indy logo and give it to him.
    His face absolutely lit up as he put it in his head and rode off on his oversized tricycle to show it to his mom and sisters. He was so happy to have it and so proud to show it off.

    I am from Indiana and my last name is literally Jones. I have been obsessed for quite some time, with the franchise. I was lucky enough to live in Los Angeles from 2006 to 2009, where I stumbled across a shop the Iguana Vintage Shop, where I bought a Bailey brand Fedora. They had been in business since 1922. I had combed the Universal Studios shops and basic halloween shops for his hat. The only difference in my hat is a hemmed edge. I paid $40 for it in 2010, and it is still everything to my costume. I loved this episode, and was geeked to find out the super fans ended up making the hats for the movie. Stay nerdy my friends!! But for real if you are in LA visit the Iguana store as they get costumes off the Hollywood lots all the time. I wore my hat while watching this episode.

      I think the hat he wears on the steps of the government building at the end of the movie, is the grey travel hat that he wears earlier on the plane journey to Nepal. How he got that hat back from there is a mystery too. Perhaps he just gets people around the world to mail his stuff back to himself. 😃

  • @Pantheragem
    @Pantheragem Рік тому +4

    To be honest, you could do an episode on every part of that iconic costume. The whole costume is true in that at a glance, it appears like something you could find anywhere, but every article of clothing is not like anything you'll find in any store.
    There's even a story on why the boots wound up being the boots used.
    It's good that there's nerds and enthusiasts for genres of all kinds. Sometimes, those are the very people productions turn to when things would have otherwise had their history lost to time.

  • @katiarepublic7057

    This was a major nostalgia trip for me. Even though I'm just barely turning 20, I grew up watching these movies with my dad. We'd even go to summits that some people on the forum hosted. They were some of the nerds that knew a lot about the different materials and makers of the hats- even getting some of their own. Dad's still got an Indie costume put together somewhere with one of those hats.

And they did a really good job on it! Steve has retired and the director chose to take it back to the source, now that HJ have a superb block and a great hatter to nail the details!

    If you'd like to have a very close copy of the Fedora, I recommend Miller hats. It's offered in several colors besides brown. Differing shaping is also available. The "poet" hats in the UK are $400-$600.
    If you look at photos from the '30s to the '50s, nearly all men wore Fedoras. If a man was seen without his hat, it was assumed he'd either lost his hat or his mind. Humphrey Bogart was probably best known for his Fedoras before Harrison Ford. Watch "Casablanca".

    I had always thought that the gag of Indy's hat never falling off was a wink & a nod to the old Republic serials where, similarly, no matter what sort of fight was going on, nobody's hat ever fell off. And this was due to the fact that the hat was there to hide the stunt doubles being swapped in and out from shot to shot. They didn't have the time or money to find a stunt double the would resemble the actor being doubled, so.. put on the hat and keep your head down.
