Fur coats have been used in fashion since the early 1600's, and for centuries as a status symbol of pronouncing prosperity as well. It has long since been valued for protection from the elements and as decoration. Demand and desire for fur in Europe pushed English fur traders to become explorers, which helped lead to discoveries in the New World, where upon making it to the shores of North America; they found an enormous supply of fur to be traded with early Native Americans. Over time, it became competitive among the established settlers to trade fur with Native Americans.

Although it had previously been the fashion to wear fur as a jacket lining, towards the end of the 19th century, it became fashionably popular to wear the fur of animals on the outside of coats. Seal fur was the first recorded use of fur being worn on the outside of coats in the 1840's. This was the beginning of the style of fur that is still worn today. The invention of the motorcar helped to boost the popularity of fur coats on women and men in the beginning of the twentieth century. Riding in cars was a very cold activity because they were not enclosed and made conditions very windy and frigid. So the upper class men and women, who would take a Sunday drive, did it in their heavy luxurious fur coats to keep themselves warm and look their best.

The elite socialites of the era remained wearing their decadent fur fashions. The glamorous movie actresses also helped to keep the desire for fur common. The fur coats that were still worn in the 1940’s were long, mostly three quarter length, and often times darker, striped fur. Fur capes became an envied item and regained its popularity on a massive scale in the late 40's when the war was over and the shortages of materials were no longer an issue. Americans prospered after the war, and fur coats were being bought by the truckload.
