Harrison Ford tried on 75 different hat prototypes before selecting the perfect headwear for his character Jacob Dutton in the Yellowstone prequel series 1923.

Costumer Janie Bryant discussed the 80-year-old actor’s transformation into the Dutton family patriarch in a new interview with Variety.

‘It’s all about his hat,’ she stressed. ‘We made so many for him. All the different colors — trying the different creases, the different brims, the different crown heights.’

After sifting through the 75 different variations, she, Harrison and series creator Taylor Sheridan eventually agreed upon Jacobs’s light tan cowboy hat.

The hat, which Harrison can be seen wearing in the hit prequel series, was aptly named ‘The Jacob.’

‘Taylor is also very specific about the kind of hat that he likes, too. There was a lot of collaboration with Taylor, with Harrison, and myself, to create what I call the ‘Jacob,” she concluded.

In a recent sit-down with Deadline, Taylor detailed the lengths he went to to nab Harrison for the prequel — which marks the Star Wars alum’s first major television role.

He said that the Indiana Jones star flew down to Texas in his private plane to discuss the series, which hadn’t even been written yet.

‘I said, we’re going to do this thing together. [Harrison] goes, can I read a script? I said, you can when it’s written, but it ain’t written yet and you got to commit to it now. I need to know who I’m writing for,’ Taylor recalled.

Taylor then explained his reasoning for casting his characters first before penning the show’s script.

‘I’m done wondering who I’m writing for,’ he said. ‘And I have to go try to chase the person I had in my mind and I can’t get the person because they’re doing some f***ing Netflix show. I don’t do that sh** anymore.’

Taylor then told Harrison that is he didn’t sign on to play Jacob, then he’d offer the part to Hollywood veteran Chris Cooper.

After getting ‘two bottles of wine down him,’ Taylor eventually got Harrison to say yes to the role.

‘I got him on the plane as fast as I could, closed the deal and said, send me the next one. Then came Helen [Mirren], and same thing. Have a glass of wine,’ he explained.
