We found a great organic cotton jacket in brown flannel with a fleece interior by Speesees…it even has ears:

But sadly (sad! sad!), it’s too small to snap down the front on Little Capucine, and the next size up is far too big! Back it goes, sniff…so if you’re baby isn’t in the inbetween, go for this little jacket for us, would you? ($46 at Speesees.) It’s really, really cute and soft - a teeny bit stiff, washing could soften it up.

Our hunt came to a happy end yesterday… when, just in time for some pretty cold days, my mother turned up a padded cotton jacket at a second-hand shop by the French brand Absorba. It’s beige gingham, intended for a boy but neutral enough for a girl in my opinion. We’re using it, anyway!

It’s a little like this one, minus the hood:

So we’ve got a warm happy ending and can move on to the puzzle of what sort of shoes you put on an outdoor crawler when it’s freezing and wet.
