Waistcoats are the perfect choice for changable weather and active children. Their practical design keeps little ones warm without restricting movement and they can be worn over jumpers to provide an extra cosy layer indoors and outside. It can be dressed up to look more formal or simply worn more casually.
This traditionally styled waistcoat has been handmade in a beautiful mustard yellow boiled wool fabric and fully lined in a dark green printed cotton featuring exotic birds. It fastens with easy to manage metal poppers at the front.
The pictures show it styled with a classic striped shirt and jungle themed trousers also available to purchase from Happy Hedgehog Designs.
Please choose a size based on actual measurements as children can vary so much even at the same age. The waistcoat is designed to be generous in size so that it can be worn over other layers of clothing. If in doubt I would recommend sizing up as the gilet will look cute worn oversized and your little one will be able to wear it for longer.

Mustard Yellow Wool Waistcoat
Wool is a natural fibre that traps air & is efficient at helping to regulate body temperature. Wool fibres are breathable, hardwearing & water resistant. Wool also naturally repels dirt & light soiling can usually be removed with a soft brush.
Boiled wool can be gently washed in cool water with minimal agitation & dried flat.
