TEMPLE OF CLOTHING SALES 'Indiana Jones' series inspires trends in dressing

THE BALTIMORE SUN

Harrison Ford's ability to make the fedora look extremely sexy in the Indiana Jones films helped boost hat sales a few years back. Now, style-watchers and retailers are hoping that the new ABC television series "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" will also establish some new clothing trends.

Sean Patrick Flanery, who plays Indy as a teen-ager, seems most likely to inspire skipped heartbeats and sartorial styles. Likely bets include:

* That fedora. Sure, Mr. Ford donated the one he used in the films to the Smithsonian, but Mr. Flanery has a new one that is almost as sexy as the original.

* Braces. Even if you prefer to call them suspenders, they're making a fashion statement that seems likely to grow in popularity.

* Bow ties. Indy wears a mix of bow and regular neckties, but show producers are promising what they call "colorful Y.I. Jones bow ties" throughout the season.
