Indiana Jones Fedora Sells At Auction For $630,000!

The iconic hat worn by the lead character in 1984's "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" fetched $630,000 at auction on Thursday alongside movie memorabilia from "Star Wars", "Harry Potter" and "James Bond" productions.

There were 37 bids for the iconic hat won by Harrison Ford, who played the intrepid archaeologist, Dr Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones, Jr., according to the auction house Propstore.

The hat - specifically made for the Temple of Doom film - had been expected to fetch between $250,000 and $500,000, according to the item's online description.

The Steven Spielberg-directed film was nominated for two Academy Awards and grossed $333,107,271 worldwide.

The fedora comes from the personal collection of the late stunt performer Dean Ferrandini, who also wore it while standing in for Ford as Jones in many of the key action scenes, including the yellow raft on the snow-covered mountain, as well as in the river scene.

Keeping the fedora in place during filming was an “ongoing challenge,” Propstore's expert said in the online description, and foam pieces were inserted to make it fit more snugly. The sweatband is stamped with the initials "I J" in gold, a feature applied specifically to the hats made for the three original installments of the Indiana Jones saga, the auction house said.
