Davy Crockett was also a very popular television show. The show aired on ABC during the 1950s. One of the most decorated frontier heroes was Davy Crockett. The Davy Crockett coon skin hat is associated with this beloved character in history, from the popular television show.
The Davy Crockett coon skin hat is symbolic of everything this frontier hero was about. Davy Crockett carried a rifle and wore a coon hat. He understood frontier life.
Of course, in the 1950s, the coon skin hats included actual raccoon fur/tails. Some of the coon skin hats even had rabbit fur! The coon skin hats made today are made of faux/fake fur, but look quite realistic.
