Costume designer Bernie Pollack's personal replica of Indiana Jones' (Harrison Ford) fedora from Steven Spielberg's action-adventure sequel Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Adventurebilt Hat Company specialized in replicas of the iconic Indiana Jones fedoras from the fourth film. Adventurebilt created this hat as part of its production run and gifted the hat to Pollack for his personal collection.

Pollack was responsible for recreating Jones' iconic costume for the film. In a post-production interview with Spielberg and Ford, Pollack explained the complex design process, which entailed creating a trifold production board featuring stills of Indy wearing his fedora from each of the previous films. Pollack's designs for Indy's hat and wardrobe were then screen-tested before Spielberg approved their final versions. According to the costume designer, Spielberg stated he had lost sleep over replicating the hat, and was pleased when Pollack ultimately produced the perfect fedora. This hand-made brown beaver felt fedora comes from Pollack's collection. It features a black ribbon, brown leather sweatband labeled "Adventurebilt Hat Company Handmade Fine Fur Felt" in gold, and a white satin liner. Also included are Pollack's trifold production board; five color-printed glossy stills of Ford in his fedora used in costume design meetings during production on the film; a FedEx envelope with a note reading "Hi Bernie! If you need any more, please let me know. All the best, Renee"; and the fedora's original USPS shipping box marked "Attn Bernie - this is your hat." Adventurebilt held this hat back from the run and shipped it to Pollack after the film was released. The liner exhibits minimal staining and the box exhibits denting and scuffing from travel.

Estimate: $5,000 - 10,000
