Description
Every child will love wearing this vest replete with its odd menagerie of nocturnal animals creeping around under the sleeping moon. Inspired by a vintage carpenter’s vest, it is made of cozy wool melton. The appliquéd wool felt animals are detailed with embroidery, and the bright facings and exposed zipper are created to be eyecatching.
