VTG 60s Handknit Double-Layer Scottie Dog Wool Hooded Jacket Kids 4/5T

Exceptional 1960s VTG handknit hooded jacket in a rich burgundy/berry tone, crafted with a rare double-layer knit construction—a full interior knit lining equal in weight and density to the exterior. This meticulous method is extremely uncommon in children’s knitwear and signals professional studio craftsmanship, offering superior warmth, structure, and durability. The label reads: “Made especially for you by Betsy’s Knit-n-Stitch”, confirming this was a custom-made, small-batch studio piece rather than mass production or hobbyist knitting. The bold Scottie dog motif is crisply executed, and the jacket is finished with a sturdy Coats & Clark (CC) metal tooth zipper and a functional drawstring hood, consistent with mid-century boutique knitwear. Fiber content not listed; based on handle, pilling characteristics, and a basic burn test, this appears to be a mid-century acrylic–wool blend. Soft to the touch and not itchy. This is a rare, heirloom-quality 60s children’s jacket, highly desirable to collectors, stylists, and parents seeking true handcrafted vintage. Condition is excellent for its age, with minor pilling typical of well-preserved wool.
