Wool Blanket...

A really thick heavy warm wool blanket. 90% wool, 10% other material. Very warm, wind resistant, fire retardant, and works when wet. A great addition to a Winter vehicle kit. Olive Drab with leather carrier and 4 brass blanket pins. 

 

Nice! I have not seen one quite like that where to get?

 

I wanna know what type of seat that wool blanket is sitting on.

 

Looks very nice! I always keep a couple synthetic blankets/ poncho liners in the truck, but I recently decided to add a wool blanket as well. I went with this Alpaca wool blanket. I like the splash of color it gives since everything else in my truck is grey or earth tones.

My couch. Def not my 4Runner seat.

 

Blanket is old Army Blanket. Everything else, Amazon.

 

I looked into buying one of those last Fall and was shocked at the prices. I used them frequently in the Navy and Army and took them for granted. IIRC, you could get them at Army/Navy surplus stores for a few bucks for years.

Now, a genuine US military wool blanket will cost you at least $50 and up.

 

I lucked out! Couple years ago mom had a garage sale. Thank God I dropped by. I scored two USGI Blankets and a Hudson Bay King Size Wool Blanket. My aunt shipped back from England. During WWII.

They are amazing blankets. Especially since I no longer receive inspections. That green wool dust got everywhere.

 

Reminds me too much of my Marine Corps wool blanket. I detested that itchy freaking thing!

 

Rich corinthian leather

 

I bought this one from MidwayUSA. It was the heaviest wool blanket I could find. Heavier=warmer. It's gonna get dirty and beat-up in the back anyway.

I have my Great Grandfather’s 100+ year old Chase horsehair carriage blanket. Two wool layers with short hair surface and weighted corners. Made to last and very warm but it is really just for your lower half while riding. It’s pretty neat to think that it was essential equipment just to get out and around back in the day.

 

Yep, very cool.
