On life support in the early 1980s, the hat business was carried on the shoulders of the early Indiana Jones movies. Hat merchants are very happy Indy is back.

The Village Hat Shop opened its doors on May 2, 1980 so they have been around the hat business during the entire Indiana Jones phenomena. "It is not an overstatement to say that Harrison Ford's fedora entirely revitalized our industry," says Fred Belinsky owner and founder of the 4-store California retail chain as well as http://www.VillageHatShop.com.
