coonskin hat
Trapper's fur cap
A coonskin hat is a fur cap 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 children's fad in the 1950s when Crockett was popularized on television.
The style evokes rugged pioneer mythology.
