Dragon-skin coats, cloaks or jackets were expensive clothing crafted from the scaly hides of dragons. They were known to be extremely hard to come by, as dragons were rather hard to capture and control, let alone skin.

Dragon's skin could block, or deflect, almost all spells; as a result, a dragon-skin coat makes the wearer invulnerable to most spells.[1]

History[]

In the 1980s, Corrine Cribb wanted to make a dragon-skin coat out of a Chinese Fireball at the Magical Creatures Reserve, but ultimately failed to buy the dragon because her original owner didn't want to sell her anymore now that she could breathe fire.[4]

Sometime before the 1992–1993 school year, Cuthbert Binns acquired one of these.[1] In 1996, Fred and George Weasley wore green dragon-skin jackets in King's Cross Station.[2] At the Funeral of Albus Dumbledore in 1997, Fred and George wore black dragon-skin jackets to show their respect for the deceased Headmaster.[3]
