Swan hat goose

The swan hat gansje is a white animal hat with a standing swan neck, an orange beak and fluffy wings on both sides. You wear it during carnival, in the parade or at a theme party where everyone appears as an animal. The hat is intended for women, men and children, so with a whole group you can arrive as a swan family.

Neck, beak and wings of the swan hat

• The white neck stands upright from the crown and bends forward at the top, with an orange beak, a black base and a small black eye.
• On both sides hang long, fluffy white wings that fall down along your ears.
• The hat itself is white and has a narrow, piped edge at the bottom.
• The material is 100% polyester.
• The washing instructions are hand wash.
• The hat is intended for women, men, boys and girls.

Is this a swan or a gansje?

The swan hat gansje represents a swan, recognizable by the long, curved neck and the orange beak with a black base at the head. That combination belongs to the mute swan, the white swan that you see swimming in ponds and canals in the Netherlands. A goose has a shorter, thicker neck and lacks that black knob on the beak. If you want everyone to recognize a swan at a glance, the high neck above your head does that job.

A white outfit under the swan hat

Choose clothes in the same white, such as a white shirt with white trousers or a white tutu skirt, so that the wings of the hat blend into the rest of your outfit. With a tutu and a white leotard you come close to the ballet swan from Swan Lake. An orange scarf or orange shoes repeat the color of the beak. For children, the fairy tale of the ugly duckling, which grows into a graceful swan, fits nicely with this look.
