raccoon coats

Twenties campus outerwear

Raccoon coats are heavy fur coats made from raccoon pelts, associated especially with American college students of the 1920s.

The bulky, striped coats became symbols of Jazz Age youth culture—worn to football games and in open cars.

The style faded but retains nostalgic charm: He looked like he stepped out of a 1920s photograph in that raccoon coat.
