The hood is removable. It's a reversible vest with stripes on the inside and tartan check on the outside. It's cute when the inside peeks out. It says "Senshukai," so I think it's from Belle Maison. It looks sleek and easy to move in, but it's not flimsy; it's quite sturdy, so it seems warm. The inside is cotton, so it doesn't feel cold when you put it on. The hood is removable, and you can't attach the hood when the striped side is showing. I received it as a hand-me-down, but my child prefers fleece, so we didn't wear it. There are scratches on the buttons. Since it's cotton, there's some pilling and some signs of wear. There's a name written on the tag, which has been erased with a marker, but it's inside the pocket on the striped side, so it's not noticeable. Also, since we haven't worn it, there might be something I missed. Please consider this only if you're okay with some scratches and stains. It will be simply packaged. The shipping method may change.
