The
"CLIFFHANGER REDUX" Inspired by the Fedora worn by Harrison
Ford in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the
Crystal Skull"™
Many feel that "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom
of the Crystal Skull" is going to be the last
"Indy" in which Harrison Ford will play
the lead. In fact, George Lucas recently said that
he is thinking of having Harrison come back in "Indy
5", as more of a "Sean Connery" character
(who played his father in "The Last Crusade"),
and let Shia LeBeouf take over as the new “Indy”.
Thus, because of the importance of this sequel,
great time, effort and emotion came to play by a
carefully selected group of dedicated and talented
individuals to make this hat!
Baron
Hats is proud to have made Harrison's fedora for
"Temple of Doom', (which we also offer as a
reproduction, called "The
Cliffhanger"), along with having made the
already much talked about cap that Shia wears in
his role as "Mutt Williams" in "Crystal
Skull", (we offer a reproduction of that cap
as well, which we call the "Rebel
Sidekick"), and we are equally as proud
to have done additional work on Harrison's newest
Fedora for "Crystal Skull".
Many will view this hat, in comparison with the
"Temple of Doom" hat and wonder what the difference
is. They would be right, in that the differences are
subtle... but they are there! (However, compare this
Fedora with the original "Raiders", and you will see
vast differences!).
One of the biggest
differences, is in the crown, which is less boxy
than its predecessors, and has much more of a tampered
shaping. There are also changes in the hatband,
a bit of new brim work, and because of the aging...
obvious slight color changes.
The biggest difference
however is the crown size.
The newest fedora
has, what we like to call a much more "user
friendly" crown, than the last three versions.
The crown is shorter and shaped more traditionally.
The original fedora was based in part on the one
that Humphrey Bogart wore in "Treasure of Sierra
Madre" (if you're ever in Burbank, California,
come by our shop and check out our "Hollywood
Hat Museum", which includes some fascinating
original "Treasure" displays from the
Bogart classic). The original "Treasure"
fedora crown was higher than a traditional one,
and Harrison's version was even higher than that!
Being that Harrison Ford is a tall man, and he played
so brilliantly such a "larger than life"
character, he was able to wear the higher crown
version with distinction! However for us "mortals"
the high crown sometimes became a bit of a problem.
That is why Baron is please to now offer this "Cliffhanger
Redux", inspired by the one worn by Harrison
Ford in "Crystal Skull". I think a great
deal of us Indy lovers will love the look and feel
of this "User Friendly" crown, with its
universal crown size and appeal!
As with all our custom hats, the "Cliffhanger Redux"
comes with our special Lifetime Guarantee, a signed
and numbered certificate of authenticity, our
engraved leather sweatband and custom silk-satin
lining. It is shipped in our specially crafted
hatbox.
We also offer this special hat with our FlexPay
payment plan. You can order the hat in three monthly
installments at no extra cost or interest. And the
hat goes into production after the first
installment.
Please note: The color of your hat will be just
like the original. However, because of the many
variances in computer monitors, the color you see
on your screen may be slightly different that the
actual custom made hat. Rest assured, you are getting
the original hat in the original color!
Shipping
options pertain to the shipping date after the hat
is completed.
