I searched for awhile and couldn't find a similar thread, but bet one exists. I'll gladly more this post there is someone just lets me know where "there" is. Otherwise, it could be a fun thread to have as I'm sure there are some neat and vintage blankets / Throws / Etc. out there
In an impulse purchase, the girlfriend and I just bought two of these Filson blankets (one for us, one as a gift for her parents) as the combination of Pendleton and Smokey the Bear was just too much for us to resist. Sometimes you do have to just say WTF and buy something on impulse.
The blanket is 82% wool, 18% cotton and feels very heavy - a great napping-on-the-sofa blanket for the fall.
A nearly full shot:
How can't you love this fellow, looks very close (see link below) to the original illustration of Smokey form the '40s
The wonderful Pendleton edge and Forest Service Green (the darker original green, not today's lighter shade)
How the blanket will look when in service in the fall
