Line 29:
* Commander Bradshaw wears a safari outfit in the [[Thursday Next]] 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.
* The [[Comedic Hero]] of ''Scoop'', the 1938 satire by Evelyn Waugh, is a country wildlife writer who's accidentally sent overseas as a war correspondent. He's sent to the requisite adventure outfitters who, realising his naivete, sell him a vast mountain of clothing and equipment which he lugs to Africa with him.
* [[Biggles]] was one of the [[Trope Maker]]<nowiki/>s for the Airman version, which is based on the [[Real Life]] uniforms of First World War aviators, and found himself wearing the Safari variant a few times while working as a [[Gentleman Adventurer]] for hire in the inter-war years.
