Hat Ranger safari

The ranger safari hat is a light brown ranger hat with a tall, creased crown, a wide flat brim and a band with bronze-coloured buttons. It evokes the park ranger and the explorer, someone trekking through a wildlife park with binoculars and a map. Men and women wear it during carnival or at a themed party where adventure is the theme.

Where the ranger hat gets its shape

The ranger hat with its pointed, creased crown is the headwear you know from park rangers in American nature parks and from scouts. The wide brim keeps the sun and rain out of your face, and the creases in the crown give it the silhouette by which you immediately recognise the ranger. Are you torn between this hat and a pith helmet? A pith helmet has a hard, round dome without creases and suits the colonial explorer. You choose this soft hat with a flat brim if you want to portray the park ranger or the guide.

What do you wear under the ranger hat in the parade?

Under the ranger hat, a sand-coloured shirt with chest pockets and shoulder epaulettes fits perfectly, the kind of shirt you see on park rangers. A khaki pair of trousers, sturdy walking shoes and binoculars around your neck go well with it. If you are walking in a parade all afternoon during carnival, then choose shoes you can really walk in and a small shoulder bag for your belongings. At an evening party indoors, you wear the hat a little further back, with the cord loose on your chest.
