Here's a couple of pics of an Optimo in an Indiana Jones Last Crusade style. I didn't know my daughter put the camera's color mode into Sepia, but it makes it look more 40s anyway.

The brim is 2 1/2 inches on the sides and about 2 3/4 in front and back, as it has a dimensional cut which was a trademark of the Indy fedora's. The Last Crusade style always looked more dressy than the Raiders of the Lost Ark fedora, which is most people's favorite. I like this one as it goes better with dress clothes.

Great hat great model!!

Fedoralover,
Your Optimo looks great on you and thanks for posting the pictures. I have never seen a bad looking Optimo hat. I still think they makes one of the best looking Vintage Fedora's. :D

Looks great !
Those are the same dimensions as the Optimo Indy I got from a fellow at COW. I rebashed it to the Temple style due to the smaller brim size after showing it to Matt D.
I thought mine was a bit too stingy in the brim for the Raiders look, so I agree with your comments.

BTW, you kinda look like Powers Boothe in his role from "Sin City".
