The Young Washington by Lori Mitchell for ESC & Company is made of resin & wire with a paper hat and is completely dressed in colonial garb. He is wearing his blue military uniform with a matching tricorn hat as well as a red vest with gold trim and white cravat which adds a regal touch to his outfit. The tan breeches and black shoes with gold buckles complete the look. Keeping with Lori's tradition of surprising us with figures she will dress with mismatched socks, George Washing has one white sock with red stripes and one blue sock with white dots giving a special embellishment to his look. He is also historically accurate, since Lori Mitchell has adorned him with a white powdered wig, American flag with the original thirteen stars and of course wooden teeth. The green base allows him to march on to the rhythm of the drum and fife
