Most raccoon tails and ears are made from faux fur, commonly polyester. Product listings typically specify "Faux Fur" and/or "Polyester" as the materials.
Tails usually attach with a loop and a hook-and-loop (Velcro) fastener designed to secure around a belt or to a belt loop.
Sets commonly include soft faux fur ears mounted on covered or black headbands. Descriptions often mention grey faux fur ears with black lining or fuzzy gray ears on a black headband.
Most kits include the tail plus some form of headwear—commonly a headband with ears or a hat. Example listings pair a tail with a headband and ears or include a hat with the tail.
Raccoon tails are described in raccoon-style colors and patterns such as gray, black, brown, gray-and-white stripes, and generic "Raccoon Print."
Age information varies across listings. Examples include "ages 3 and up," "14 Years and Up," and general "Adult" designations.
Listings reference a range of uses including Halloween, historical/pioneer looks, and other general costume themes.
Simple attachment features—such as a hook-and-loop fastener for the tail and ears mounted on a headband—make these accessories fast and easy to add to a costume.
