Straw Hat Explorer

The explorer straw hat is a woven tropical helmet with a tall round crown, a wide brim and a brown strap with two buckles. Wear it at a safari party or jungle party, and you will instantly be recognized as an adventurer on an expedition. The hat is designed for women and men and is perfect for any group of people dressing up together for a trip.

What does the straw tropical helmet look like?

• The hat is made from 100% palm leaves.
• The leaves run in narrow strips from the top to the brim in a light, natural straw tint.
• A small woven rosette sits on top of the crown, where all the strips meet.
• Two metal eyelets are set into the side of the crown.
• A brown strap with two metal buckles runs diagonally across the brim.
• The outer brim is finished with reddish-brown stitching.

The tropical helmet as a symbol of the explorer

The tropical helmet is the headwear everyone knows from images of explorers and safari-goers in warm countries. The rounded shape and wide brim kept the sun off the head and neck, making the helmet the signature look of the expedition. Unlike a flat summer straw hat, this helmet shape stands tall above your head. Choose it if you want your costume theme to be clear without any explanation.

Glasses, face paint and jewellery to complement the straw hat

Round glasses or metal-framed sunglasses complete the image of a traveller with maps and a compass. Use some brown face paint to draw a stubble beard or sun-kissed cheeks, as if you have just come out of the jungle. A simple leather bracelet or a necklace with a tooth-shaped pendant matches the natural straw tint of the helmet.

Order the explorer straw hat and head into the jungle well protected at your next safari party.
