The gloves were made by Vermont teacher Jen Ellis, who takes her daughter to a daycare run by Sanders‘ daughter-in-law, according to the “Today” show.

“Bernie’s mittens are made by Jen Ellis, a teacher from Essex Junction, Vt,” Buzzfeed reporter Ruby Cramer tweeted. “She gave them to him 2+ years ago and was surprised when he began wearing them on the campaign trail. They are made from repurposed wool sweaters and lined with fleece made from recycled plastic bottles.”
