Safari Hats
A safari is an overland journey. It usually
refers to a
trip by tourists to Africa, traditionally for a big-game hunt and in
more modern times to watch and photograph big game and other wildlife
as a safari holiday. There is a certain theme or style associated with
the word, which includes khaki hats and clothing, pith helmets, and
safari hats.
Popularized by turn-of-the-century Anglo African
adventurers, safari-style hats were engineered for comfort and function
in the African bush. They are also frequently known as "Bush hats" for
this reason.
A safari hat is commonly a light weight cotton,
drill
or poplin hat, traditionally khaki in color, leather trimmed and may or
may not have grommets. Safari hats have been worn as mainstream casual
clothing since the 1950s They are particularly popular with outdoor
activities, as their chin cords allow one to keep their hat during fast
moving activities.
The most notable feature of a safari hat is the
turned
down brim in both front in back, providing excellent protection from
the sun. TheFedoraStore.com offers a wide range of safari hats made in
