Fashion
Camel is the color of a specific type of overcoat known as a polo coat or camel-hair coat. In a 1951 Collier's magazine fashion article, it is said camel colored polo coats are proper to wear in the summer, in the country and in the U.S. South, but navy blue overcoats are proper to wear in the city and in autumn, winter and spring.
