This exact hat is sold on Amazon by another seller for a couple of buck more. It had excellent reviews THERE, so even though it had no reviews here I decided to purchase this one. The hat is great and I've gotten a number of compliments on it in the short time I've had it.
My only disappointments are connected and seller-related. (A) Other hats I've purchased came in hat boxes with appropriate support for the shape and styling. Amazon not being "hat people" tossed this hat in an oversized box (brim down) threw packing bubbles in the box and sent it to me. (B) Unlike the Indiana Jones' downturned front and back brim, my hat arrived with a practically flat brim, except for being upturned slightly on the sides. Because of the hat's quality, a little steam, and some trial-and-error, I managed to coax the brim into the shape I wanted.
I would definitely buy the hat again!! It's a great value, but I might consider buying it from the hat seller for a few bucks more.

I've worn this in public only a few times, but I like it. It has the feel of an expensive felt hat, even though the Indiana Jones branding and "made in china" say otherwise. But the point is, it feels like a nice firm quality hat. Not like any cheap hat you'd see in a Target or Walmart or Burlington. This is the quality you would get only from a dedicated hat shop. It's not a Borsalino, but definitely closer to a Borsalino than the silly crushable things in Target. Note, the bronze pin on the side says "Indiana Jones". It looks like it can be easily clipped off, if desired.Best Deals for Indiana Jones Fur Felt Fedora
I started shaving my head and needed something to keep my head warm in the cooler weather. I received this hat a couple of weeks ago and I wear it to work every day. I get a lot of compliments on it. I did take off the Indiana Jones logo on the ribbon. It was not hard to remove. The hat is pretty well made. The fur felt is quite stiff, so it should hold its shape. Like one of the other reviewers, I had to do some steaming to shape the brim the way I wanted and and also had to steam inside and outside around the headband to stretch it a little bit. This is not hard to do. It can be shrunk or stretched via this method. Mine did come in a hat box.The color is pretty dark brown with the ribbon a dark chocolate color. The color of the hat and the ribbon seems to change with the lighting, just as Indy's hat did in the movies. If you look at the photos of the different models of this hat, they all look to be a different color. That is how it changes with the lighting. The middle crease is not an exact replica, but the profile of the hat is unmistakably Indiana Jones and everyone who is old enough will notice that. It looks awesome with my black leather trench coat and my brown leather flight jacket. When I put it on, I feel like rescuing damsels in distress. Too bad I am old enough for a last crusade. ;-)
