How to Wear a hat Like Indiana Jones

Indiana Jones hats have been popular for years, even before the Indiana Jones movies. Other actors in films from the '40s wore similar hats. But in 1980, Harrison Ford found his soon-to-be-famous hat at a custom hatter in London and his movies made the style popular again. If you want to wear an Indiana Jones hat, there is a specific way to do it.

Instructions

1. Purchase an officially licensed Indiana Jones hat. There are many available online, including at the Indiana Jones website. The "official" hat is a brown fedora constructed of crushable, water-repellent wool felt.

2. Squeeze the hat into a ball. Then, throw it on the ground, kick it and step on it several times to give it a "broken in" look. Since your Indiana Jones hat is crushable, it easily bounces back to its original shape.

3. Crease the crown (the top of the hat) and pinch its sides. Place the hat on your head, making sure it fits over your hair and ears.

4. Cock your Indiana Jones hat slightly to the right and turn the front brim down to add a genuinely dashing Indiana Jones look.
