The process of fine tuning the uniform regulations to accommodate the various functions of the park ranger began in the 1930s. Until then there was only one uniform and the main focus seemed to be in trying to differentiate between the officers and the lowly rangers. The former were authorized to have their uniforms made of finer material (Elastique versus heavy wool for the ranger), and extraneous decorations of all kinds were hung on the coat to distinguish one from the other. The ranger's uniform was used for all functions where recognition was desirable: dress; patrol (when the possibility of contact with the public existed), and various other duties, such as firefighting.

  • The Influence of Clothing Choice on Trust in a Business Context
    The influence of clothing choice on trust in a business context Author: Ellis Elisabeth Chantal Olde Wieverink University of Twente P.O. Box 217, 7500AE Enschede The Netherlands ABSTRACT Appearances play an important role in one’s personal life, but also in one’s professional life. They give off impressions, and people do their best to influence these in order to be positively perceived in multiple ways. People put more effort in their appearance, and try to show the best version of themselves. The research in this paper therefore tries to find out if clothing appearance has an influence on trust in a business environment, more specifically if the formality and masculinity of an outfit matter in this. Research was conducted via a survey based on the methodology of the investment game, and was spread online. The survey randomly showed the respondents one of four outfits, representing formal-masculine, formal- feminine, informal-masculine, and informal-feminine. Then a scenario question was asked, in order to indicate the level of trust (€0 showing no trust, €25 showing moderate trust, and €50 showing full trust). The survey received 116 responses, of which most of the respondents were men, with an average age for all respondents of 39.94 years. From the results it can be seen that the respondents mainly worked in higher management functions, that they have a preference for informal wear, and that women invest more money than men do. What can be concluded from the results of this research is that formality and masculinity of the outfit of a woman in a business environment do not matter on trust.
