Looks like you can get a vintage one for about $500.

It is wild that almost 100 years of social conditioning makes it difficult to grasp, even with photographic evidence, that this used to be the height of men’s fashion.

I had a (red plaid! So very obviously fake) short jacket like the women’s ones shown in that story. (I actually made it myself. Now I wonder if I still have that pattern and if I could make a slightly slimmer-fit one if I could find good quality faux raccoon). I have an odd taste in clothing though and I would totally wear a faux raccoon coat if I could get one.
I dunno, maybe I saw too many old cartoons and stuff but the stereotype of the “raccoon coat college boy” was something that didn’t seem that weird; it just seemed like an early 20th C. fashion thing.Report
