Swiss Army Wool Blanket

Not all reproductions live up to the reputation of the original product, but this a fine example of one that does. The original Swiss military wool blankets were hand crafted from wool and kept many soldiers warm (or at least alive) from the end of the 19th century through to the 1960's. Each blanket was made with care and featured the Swiss cross alongside the initials of the craftsman and the year.

These reproduction blankets do justice to the originals. Made from 80% wool with a warmth and softness like no other. The Swiss cross has been hand sewn onto a red stripe—just like the originals. One of the very best heavy weight reproductions of Swiss quality. You're going to want to use this one for camping, bushcraft, or in emergencies. Or maybe, you'll just revel in its heirloom-like quality and keep it as a throw on the end of your bed or over an old recliner.
