A fur coat is a type of outerwear garment made from the fur of animals. The term 'fur coat' can refer to three different types of garments: a PELISSE, a PELT, and a PELAGE. A PELISSE is a long fur-lined or fur-trimmed coat that was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. A PELT is a piece of fur that has been cut from an animal's hide and is often used to make coats, hats, and other garments. Finally, a PELAGE is a layer of fur on an animal's body, which is often used to make coats and other garments.
