This delightful little Sooty bear has all his original features and comes with a 100% cotton hand-knitted red BWB Waistcoat.
 
Perfect little bear for those who are Sooty & Sweep Collectors or those who simply love the 60/70s Vintage retro vibe.
And of course the ever growing Wendy Boston fans would find this little Sooty a perfect addition to their Hug.
 
This little Sooty plush is not jointed.
Stands at and is 11" (28cm) tall.
Sits at 8" (20cm)
 
He has a worn label on the inside of his left leg which is undoubtedly a Wendy Boston label and of course he has the signature cute little booty.
 
Sooty has the iconic, patented screw--in-lock plastic safety eyes.
 
He is made from a soft buttery yellow faux fur with soft cotton-like fabric paws, a slight snag to the left paw. 
 
This little Sooty bear appears in my article for the Teddy Bear Times & Friends magazine Issue No. 277.
 
As with a lot of Plushies of this era, he was filled with foam chippings which is potentially toxic and this has been carefully removed and this gave me the opportunity to give Sooty a gentle hand wash and left to dry naturally so is nice and fresh for you.
 
The stuffing has been replaced with a premium graded polyester fibre stuffing - so you have no need to worry about the cost of upgrading  and dealing with this issue.
