History Main / AdventurerOutfit

* ''ComicBook/ComicCavalcade'': The well traveled botanist Iris, who ends up captured by the Turtle in Franchise/TheFlash feature but only after shooting several of his henchmen, wears a white blouse with jodhpurs and a very visible shoulder holster.

* The protagonist of the graphic novel ''ComicBook/{{Heck}}'' wears a pulp-inspired outfit of leather and khaki.
* Axel Brass' [[http://i.imgur.com/eGXbQ5C.jpg team]] from ''ComicBook/{{Planetary}}'' depicts the Safari, Air Man and Archaeologist outfits as well as few other classic genre outfits.
* Cliff Secord, better known was ''ComicBook/TheRocketeer'' is another good example of the adventure outfit, albeit with more of a pilot bent. His most common outfit is a pair of classic pilot boots, khaki pants, and a stylish double-breasted jacket. Also his rocket pack, which greatly adds to his adventurous nature by virtue of being a rocket pack.
* The Time-Traveling parents from ''Comicbook/{{Runaways}}'' are a good generic explorer example, with all the leather and goggles and such.

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: Bobby and Glamora give the concept a nod with the way they don a pith helmet every time they get to go on an adventure, but other than putting on boots they just wear the Holliday Girls outfits they always wear.

'''Safari Outfit:''' Going to Africa or the Middle East? You need loose beige or tan linens, a big brown belt, boots, a light scarf to keep the sun off your neck, a rifle and binoculars; a canteen, a safari hat called a pith helmet. ([[HighClassGlass Monocle]] optional but recommended). Usually, the wearer is a book-smart professor, but ignorant of what they should actually wear for the expedition. [[RealityIsUnrealistic Counterintuitively]] most of them needed more coverage in RealLife to avoid sunburns and harmful insects and during [[TheGayNineties the age of African exploration]] the pith helmet was [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Henry_M_Stanley_1872.jpg the narrow-brimmed model]] of [[UsefulNotes/AngloZuluWar Zulu War]] vintage, not the broad-brimmed "Bombay Bowler" of the post-1900 years.

'''Polar Outfit:''' Arctic and Antarctic explorers must face icy winds, blizzards and blinding sun, so they wear heavy, thick parkas with fur trim, big leather mittens with fur lining, large, well-insulated boots, and goggles with slits to preventsun blindness. The gun of choice in the Arctic is a large-calibre bolt-action rifle capable of protecting them from predatory polar bear. They carry food and supplies in a big backpack and often wear cross-country skis. The mountain climber is related, but add an oxygen tank and mask, crampon-equipped boots and an ice axe.

* The Ventures dress like this in the jungle episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers''.

* Red from ''VideoGame/{{Solatorobo}}'' wears a variant of the Airman outfit, with gloves, a parka-esque hat, [[GogglesDoNothing Goggles That Do Nothing]], and a furry shoulder-cape replacing the bomber jacket and scarf.

* In the video for ''Music/{{Madness}}''' song "Night Boat to Cairo" from ''Music/OneStepBeyond'', the band are all wearing safari-style outfits.

There are three stock ensembles that make up this trope, though it's sometimes mix-and-matched with other StockCostumeTraits:

All three tend to wear [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodhpurs jodhpurs]] (pants with extra room around the thighs to aid in horseback riding). A ''Film/MadMax'', post-apocalyptic Wanderer look can be related. A few settings take the Airman outfit, remove the scarf, [[ChainedByFashion adds chains]], lots of belts (though a few shy of TooManyBelts), [[DarkerAndEdgier much more grime]], a BadassBandolier and a rifle. A [[CanineCompanion trusty dog]] is optional, but recommended, but a [[BadassBiker motorcycle]] works as well. To add a {{Steampunk}} flavor to either of the above, add clocks, light metal armoring, a tool belt, and RayGun as needed.

Whether it's a trip to the Serengeti, a jaunt through time or pulp/steampunk adventures, these are the outfits you want to wear! Worn by the AdventurerArchaeologist, LadyOfAdventure, GreatWhiteHunter, EgomaniacHunter and GentlemanAdventurer, as well as the AcePilot, and, sometimes, the BoldExplorer.

'''Airman:''' Start with a bomber jacket (the kind with a large wool collar and lapels), then add a ScarfOfAsskicking, leather gloves and light boots.[[note]]These double as StylishProtectionGear; aircraft cabins can get pretty cold at altitude, and the scarf also prevents neck chafing from a flyer constantly turning his head to check his environment (especially in wartime).[[/note]] Usually has goggles (which [[TheGogglesDoNothing may or may not be useful]]) or a flying helmet, or sometimes a peaked cap from whichever air force they learned to fly in. When the Airman travels JustForFun/InSpace they'll probably swap out for a LatexSpaceSuit. If armed, it'll be with a pistol.

'''Archaeologist:''' Think Franchise/IndianaJones. [[SignatureHeadgear A hat that stands out]], typically a wide brim {{fedora| of asskicking}}, PermaStubble if male, leather jacket, long-sleeved collared shirt, plain pants and sturdy boots, pistol holster/harness, and AncientArtifact-holding satchel. If the character is a trope-for-trope {{Expy}} of Indy, they'll also have a whip. A vest may substitute for the jacket, and the pistol harness might become two for DualWielding.

* ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'' One of the souls in the Netherworld Waiting Room is a [[GreatWhiteHunter big game hunter]] who carries a rifle and wears a Safari Outfit but with a slouch hat substituting for the pith helmet. Unfortunately, he can no longer wear his hat because his [[ShrunkenHead head has been shrunk!]]
