Even though Davy Crockett has been portrayed inaccurately as a boorish backwoodsman in popular culture, Colonel David Crockett was a responsible and ethical person in that way and would have respected protocol. (The real man and the popular image diverge quite a bit when you research them both).
I'm not sure if Crockett ever wore his coonskin cap in Congress, but I expect he would have gotten the same reaction as you have to Fetterman wearing a hoodie...
As far as I'm aware, Davy Crockett never wore his buckskins while in the halls of Congress. In fact, I believe he went unrecognized by attendants when he attended The Lion of the West, a play based on his life.
Did he flagrantly violate the rules or insist that the institution conform to his personal desire for self-expression, or did he serve honorably and decently and try to do the best by his constituents?

You sound like the people who objected to Davy Crockett being in Congress (he was a Representative, not a Senator, but the same shoe fits...).

I imagine so. Lion's fictional version of Crockett- who had the wonderful name of Nimrod Wildfire- wasn't exactly flattering.
Knowing Crockett, he probably got a kick out of it. He was never one to take himself too seriously.
