So it’s really no wonder thatSenator Bernie Sandersbroke out his best coat and mittens.
Being from New England, Sanders doesn’t mess around when it comes to preparing for brisk temperatures.
“In Vermont we dress warm,” he toldCBS' Gayle Kingafter the ceremony.
“We know something about the cold, and we’re not so concerned about good fashion.
We want to keep warm, and that’s what I did today.”
According toBuzzfeed NewsreporterRuby Cramer, he’s been wearing them for awhile.
Ellis gave them to him as a gift over two years ago.
“They are made from repurposed wool sweaters and lined with fleece made from recycled plastic bottles.”
That tweet alone got nearly 4,000 retweets and over 14,000 likes.
However, on Jan. 20, sherevealedthat she was out of inventory.
“Thanks for all the interest in Bernie’s mittens!”
“I’m so flattered that Bernie wore them to the inauguration.
Sadly, I have no more mittens for sale.
There are a lot of great crafters on ETSY who make them.”
The end of an era or is it just the beginning?
