The iconic hat worn by Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has just sold at auction for a whopping $630,000.
As reported by the BBC, the hat came from the collection of Ford's stunt double Dean Ferrandini, who died in 2023.
The hat wasn't worn by Indy in the first film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, but was made specifically for Temple of Doom. It featured in early scenes such as when Indy, Willie Scott, and Short Round jumped from a crashing plane.
Not to be confused with any other brown felt fedora, and evidence of the attention to detail literally stitched into the film, the inside lining of the hat features the gold monogrammed initials IJ.
The auction sold plenty of other film memorabilia alongside the Indiana Jones prop, including a Scout Trooper helmet from Star Wars: Episode 6 – Return of the Jedi for $315,000, a wand used by Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for $53,550, and a suit worn by Daniel Craig in Skyfall for $35,000.
Indiana Jones is still going strong in 2024 despite the original trilogy having been released in the 1980s. A fifth film called Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was released in 2023, while a major video game adaptation called Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is launching soon too.
