Our son Dave @drscll worked with @burtonsnowboard founder Jake Burton on a limited edition jacket with @BernieSanders face on the back. Bernie really liked it, so Dave got him one – without his image – for Christmas. Vermont jacket, Vermont gloves, Vermont common sense! https://t.co/P9NLMVPMgh

You too can have mittens just like Bernie’s

Let me just start this off by saying, whew! What a day. Trump is OUT, Biden has been sworn in as our new President, Kamala Harris just became the first woman–not to mention the first Black woman and the first Asian American to hold the Vice Presidential office–and I can’t stop crying. One thing that has abated my tears? Getting a glimpse of Bernie Sanders’ mittens, the most spectacular pair I’ve ever seen.

We’ve been fawning over Dr. Biden’s sparkly blue Markarian dress and coat, VP Kamala Harris’ Christopher John Rogers ensemble, Michelle Obama’s glam suit, Lady Gaga’s Hunger Games-esque Schiaparelli gown & J. Lo’s all-white Chanel suit, but I’m here to say the true star of this show was Bernie Sanders’ practical parka and toasty-looking fair isle mittens.

Senator Sanders was spotted in the crowd looking every bit the Vermont native he is. The freezing temps at Biden’s Inauguration weren’t going to stop him from enjoying the historic day. Although he probably could have picked out a warmer coat for the occasion, his mittens were extremely appropriate for the slightly snowy weather. Democracy has prevailed today, alongside our respect for Sanders and his very practical sartorial choices.

So let’s talk about those mittens. They’re lined with fleece made from recycled plastic bottles and hand-knit using repurposed wool sweaters. Warm, eco-friendly and just stylish enough to be covetable. Just like Bernie?

“Bernie’s mittens are made by Jen Ellis, a teacher from Essex Junction, Vt,” tweeted BuzzFeed News political reporter Ruby Cramer. “She gave them to him 2+ years ago and was surprised when he began wearing them on the campaign trail.” You won’t be able to get your hands on Bernie’s exact pair, we’ve found a few that come pretty close.

We’re always in the market for a good pair of mittens, or any cold-weather accessory really. You can never be too prepared when temps drop below 40 degrees! Below, some of our favorite eco-friendly mittens that look just like Bernie’s and are sure to keep you warm this winter. Let’s just say, we’re feeling the brrrrrn today.

As of right now, the United States has a Democratic president, a Democratic Senate, and a Democratic House. This is now a test for the Democrats. There is no excuse, none whatsoever, to not get things done. No reason not to pass laws and make history – other than maybe cowardice.

Major Amount of BS alert:

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) says President George W. Bush told him he's "the savior" for his help in getting Joe Biden the nomination.
