History Main / AdventurerOutfit

* In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'', Princess Peach wears a safari outfit in some of the kingdoms she explores.

* ''Film/HotShots''. Admiral Bensen is wearing the traditional airman's jodphurs...while commanding a unit of jet fighter pilots. He then explains that it's because his tailor ran short of cloth while halfway up his pants.

'''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.[[/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 InSpace they'll probably swap out for a LatexSpaceSuit. If armed, it'll be with a pistol.

* Two plays of [[Theatre/JaraCimrmansTheatre Jára Cimrman's Theatre]] make use of the safari outfit:

** In ''[[Theatre/{{Africa}} Africa, or Czechs among Cannibals]]'', the leader of the expedition, Dr. Emil Žába, wears this outfit throughout the play. (Emil Žába means Emil 'Frog', which might allude to a real Czech traveller Emil Holub – Holub means 'pigeon'.)

** In ''[[Theatre/{{Africa}} Africa, or Czechs among Cannibals]]'', the leader of the expedition, Dr. Emil �ába, wears this outfit throughout the play. (Emil �ába means Emil 'Frog', which might allude to a real Czech traveller Emil Holub -- Holub means 'pigeon'.)

* Dr Emil Holub was a Czech traveller who widely explored Africa in the 19th century. In the film ''[[Film/JaraCimrmanLyingSleeping Jara Cimrman, Lying, Sleeping]]'', he's seen sporting the safari/jungle outfit even when he's at home in Prague.

** Captain Cook in "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy".
** Brannigan in "Gridlock".

* {{LEGO}}'s ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' knockoff LEGOAdventurers featured all their main characters in variations of these.

* In "Roar", Creator/KatyPerry and a handsome BoldExplorer start off wearing the safari version. Subverted when the hero quickly gets eaten by a tiger and Perry's character discards the outfit as she changes from DamselInDistress to a [[FanService scantily-clad]] JunglePrincess.

* Jack Yaeger from ''TheMercuryMen'' wears the standard RaygunGothic version of this.

* [[NationsAsPeople America]] in ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' has the "airman" look with a leather bomber jacket (sporting a giant "50" on his back) and black leather boots, and occasionally goes all-out with goggles, gloves, and a WWII airforce hat. Of course, all done to complement his overblown LoveFreak attitude, his status as the AcePilot of the [[WeAREStrugglingTogether Allied forces]], and his self-declared role of "[[JumpedAtTheCall the hero]]".

* Franchise/IndianaJones is easily one of the best examples of this trope, if not the trope codifier. Not to mention his ''many'' [[{{Expy}} expies.]]

* Commander Bradshaw wears a safari outfit in the Literature/ThursdayNext series. His books were adventure stories that fell out of favour and went out of print after the 1920s, but he had to stay in character in the [=BookWorld=].

* Tail's momentary wears the airman costume in ''Literature/SonicTheHedgehogInRobotniksLaboratory'' before being told to take it off by Sonic.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Space 1889}}'' plenty of illustrations feature similar outfits. Since the game is set in 1889 and wilderness treks and exploring are important themes, this is perfectly justified.

* [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'', in which they're making a movie and Christopher Robin gives Pooh an airman style scarf to show that he's TheHero.

Whether it's a trip to the Serengeti, 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.

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

'''Safari Outfit:''' Beige or tan linens, big brown belt, boots, probably a rifle and binoculars. Also, a safari hat, called a Pith Helmet; ([[HighClassGlass monocle]] optional but recommended). Usually the wearer is book smart but ignorant of what they should actually wear for the expedition. Usually accessorized with a rifle or musket. [[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.

* Literature/{{Biggles}} and his colleagues usually wear the Airman variant (heck, they and their contemporaries were arguably the TropeCodifier) but on occasion they'll don Safari Outfits for hot climates.

** ''[[Theatre/CimrmanInMusicDomain Cimrman in the Music Domain]]'', with a sub-title "Educational evening with a one-act opera ''[[ShowWithinAShow The Success of the Czech Engineer in India]]''" . This outfit is worn by a British governor Colonel Colonel.

* {{LEGO}}'s ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' knockoff LEGOAdventurers featured all their main characters in varations of these.

* ''VideoGame/AgarestSenki'' has Noa, an elf eirl who's living her life finding treasures, spots a Safari type with little pants.

* Simon Belmont in ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' wore a pilot's outfit, with goggles and a backpack. Only problem is the Simon Belmont from the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' franchise that this Simon is ''supposed'' to be based off is a VampireHunter and doesn't dress anything like this.

* ''Between Silk and Cyanide'' by Leo Marks. Marks is assigned to reform the SOE code section in Cairo. His horrified parents, aghast at the countless dangers of the tropics, give him a pith helmet and make him swear never to take it off. He obediently carries it everywhere with him, greatly bemusing the Cairo Section personnel who are wearing nothing like it. One asks if he's carrying a secret recorder in there.
