Indigenous Canadian jacket turns up at Barnsley vintage store

A jacket believed to be more than 170 years old has turned up in a vintage store in Barnsley.

The rare example of clothing made by Indigenous Canadians is thought to date from the 1850s.

It was brought to the UK in a clothing bale from the USA.

Alice Leadbetter, from Glass Onion, said she hoped to reunite the jacket with the community that made it.
