coon-skin cap
Trapper's furry hat
A coon-skin cap is a fur hat made from raccoon hide, typically with the animal's tail hanging at the back.
Associated with American frontier figures like Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, it became a fad among children in the 1950s when Crockett was popularized on television: Every kid on the block wanted a coon-skin cap.
