This teddy bear has been passed down from my grandma and was made out of my gray grandmas black Persian lamb jacket. My great grandma had a German background so in Germany it was very significant to have a Persian lamb jacket. As it symbolized that you made it in life. so I believe in my grandma giving me this teddy bear she was also wishing upon me to get everything I wanted at life
Original jacket was made in a Kitchener Fur shop and my grandmas sister had someone make it into a teddy bear
Outerwear to a household item I guess could be classified as a stuffy/toy?
With me gifted from my grandma

Made of fabric from Hungary. One of four shirts -- one white and three blue -- made of fabric purchased by Tran Thi Thu Ha (aunt) in Saigon. The shirts were tailored (either in Saigon or My Tho) for four of her brothers. This sort of purchase was illegal in post-1975 Vietnam. Including my father, three of the brothers escaped by boat wearing the shirts, and eventually settled in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. They were worn for several years, but eventually were put away and stayed in the possession of Tran Ba Hung (father). This white shirt originally belonged to Tran Ba Hung (father's older brother) who disliked his own clothes and would steal the others'. The shirt was taken and worn by Tran Ba Hung (younger brother). The remaining shirt in Vietnam was lost.
