This is a very hard to find, desirable and valuable gift set. It was a Sears Exclusive, sold in the Sear's 1968 Christmas Catalog for $6.99. It included the first version of the TNT Stacey doll with the long ponytail.

I love how the jacket's sleeves match the shell, making it look like a vest over a long sleeve top. Notice the British flag and background on the box!

The jacket has a Black and White Cloth Tag that reads:

Maybe Mattel will make a reproduction of this gift set one day, as it is almost impossible to find and I am sure many collectors (myself included!) aspire to own one.
