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, the dashing archaeologist who really hates snakes.

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.
Created by the Herbert Johnson Hat Company in London, it is made of sable-coloured rabbit felt.
Other items sold include an Imperial scout trooper’s white “biker scout” helmet from 1983’s Return of the Jedi, which went for $472,200 (US$315,000), and a ghost costume worn by stars in the 1996 movie Scream, which sold for $406,100 ($US270,900).
