Some people noticed immediately that he was wearing the same coat seen in the popular meme that came from his election primary campaign last year.
Wait, is Bernie is wearing the same jacket from his meme at the inauguration? pic.twitter.com/q0DtVNpZbB

Bernie’s mittens are made by Jen Ellis, a teacher from Essex Junction, Vt. 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. pic.twitter.com/ErLr29lY2t

A reporter from BuzzFeed News noted that the mittens Sanders wore were from a teacher in his state, who gave them to him more than two years ago, as he campaigned for the Democratic nomination for president.
