Mister Donut!

The Korean national dress is called "Hanbok."  It's a beautiful garment made up of two sections and a shirt that covers the arms and ties on the side.

Korean babies receive a special "baby Hanbok" that the wearer then keeps until he or she reaches adulthood. Apparently some teenage students even carry their baby Hanbok as a good-luck charm.  One of my coworkers told me that some high school students carry their baby Hanbok in their bag during the major university entrance exam as a talisman of sorts for success!

This is a modern Korean baby t-shirt (with a matching blanket) that has ties on the sides in the style of Hanbok. My coworkers gave it to Finley, and since he's getting so fat, the theme (donuts) is completely appropriate!

Here you can see the little side ties.
