ReplyDeletesold mine 4 years ago kinda hard to wear unless you're surrounded by snow.
ReplyDeleteBTW this type of blanket[whatever the brand] is called point blanket ,little black stripes being the points .the points determine the length of the blanket when folded on the shelves of the trading post.the more points the longer the blanket.i've seen up to six points,the average being 4.......
back in the days,trappers were using the points to determine how many beaver furs to trade for a blanket.1point one beaver and so on....the origines of the points are attributed to the French by the way.....
