Indiana Jones & The 70 Hats

Indiana Jones has a tougher life than many of us might have expected. To make the most recent film, the following were needed:

* 30 identical fedoras

* 30 leather jackets

* 60 pairs of khaki pants

* 72 shirts

Let's work out the math; say $100 per hat for $3000, $350 per jacket for $10,500, $50 per pants for $3000, and $30 per jacket for $2160, grand total: $18,660.00

And of course as a conservative, I gave a conservative estimate. It might be much higher in Hollywood.

"Everybody that worked on it was out of business. The hat maker was gone. The costumer was gone. So I had to start from scratch.

Um, no...

Wested Inc. is the costuming company that made the original jackets, as well as the shirts and trousers, and they're still in business.

And the hats were made by Herbert Johnson of London, who is also still in business. So there, Mr. Pollack.
