The beloved Clothkits jerkin is back! First launched in the winter of 1971/72, it became a best-seller for over a decade, a cosy favourite for the whole family. This particular version, Clothkit No. 295, was released in 1976/77 and features a bold design inspired by the Orient.

Warm, practical and ever-so easy to make, the jerkin is printed on 100% cotton and lined with soft faux fur for added comfort. Designed to allow freedom of movement, it’s perfect for layering – whether you’re heading out to play or getting stuck into a spot of gardening! The children’s jerkin (ages 3–6) includes pockets and is available in green and purple.

• PolySoft Teddy (a classic synthetic option // 100% Polyester)
• Ecru Cotton Teddy (a plush, more luxurious feel // 90% Cotton 10% Polyester)
