Do you wear a fedora with your leather jacket?

Nobody knows who Indiana Jones is anymore. Brown hat is a pretty safe choice.

That may change December 9th...

Its not an Indy style jacket anyhow.

Not an "Indy" per se but THE Good Wear Capeskin A1 "Grail Jacket" passed down to me via the Lounge many, many moons ago. I'd finally lost enough weight to do it justice. Decided to wear this rig to a co-workers memorial service.

Sorry for the loss of your coworker.

On a positive note, thay whole outfit is so perfect. I love everything about it.

I'm happy to see PS3 is still getting new releases.

Reruns on television still draw large audiences, it could be argued that Indiana Jones is more of a curse than a blessing.

Not a fedora, but an Akubra "Boss" nevertheless!

Well. Close the thread. Here’s the proof. Wear the hat. 10/10

I have worn leather jackets and fedoras together for over twenty years!

I usually will wear either A tweed flat cap or brown fedora with it. There is really nothing special about Indy’s clothes, it’s a pretty standard outfit for the time period and I find myself wearing something similar by pure coincidence quite often whenever I wear a leather jacket. I doesn't really matter to me, it’s just a good combination.

A month or so back I'd never had a fedora but now that I have three I wear them all the time. My normal go-to jackets are leather so they're together often for me. If there were an example were they don't go together well it's with my Lost Worlds leather pea coat. As soon as I sit down in the pickup the jacket hikes up and knocks my hat off.

If I put the hat back on the height of the collar won't allow the hat to park itself on my head and instead teeters around looking to fall off again.

All my other leather jackets though have paired really well w/ a fedora in my view.

(edit: I should add that the Lost Worlds' pea coat is nearly new and board stiff. Once the coat breaks in it'll probably go perfectly w/ a nice hat but that time is not now. I'll wear the jacket every day this month and hopefully it'll soften up enough that I'll be able to predict how much longer break in might last. I have it on now).
