Description
A low-tech supergarment for modern -day mountain men and other rough-and-tough outdoorspeople. The natural qualities of wool, combined with simple and clever details, make for a very functional outdoor jacket!
- No seams on top of the shoulders; won't chafe when carrying backpacks
- Hood protects from wind and rain
- Large chest pocket that won't interfere with the backpack's hip belt
- Smaller pocket inside the bigger one for phone, wallet, etc.
- Hem way longer on the back; keeps the crack of your arse covered in any position
- Thick and durable wool blend
- Made here in Finland
The idea of the Blanket Shirt stems from ancient outdoor garments. Wool jackets with this basic form have been used for ages. In more recent times, these have gained popularity among bushcrafters and other traditionalists.
Also available as an Administrative Results version!
Our Blanket Shirts are sewn in Finland by Kolmituote, Salon Seudun Työkeskus Oy. Made in Finland!
Features
The Blanket Shirt is a simple and functional garment that doesn't compromise tried-and-true features. These were good back in the day and not the least bit worse in the days to come. We didn't reinvent the wheel, just made our own version with practical features.
Minimalistic yet practical pockets
The chest pocket is large and positioned a bit higher on the chest so as not to interfere with backpack hip belts or equipment belts worn over the shirt. Great for storage or warming your cold fingers. Inside the pocket is a smaller pocket, sewn onto the body side of the shirt. This little flat pocket is intended to safely store any important valuables, such as mobile phones. Access slits on the sides to make rummaging through your trouser pockets or accessing equipment on your trouser belt easier.
Spacious hood
The hood offers protection from wind and rain and keeps your head warm, an obvious necessity if there ever was one. The hem is way longer on the back, which keeps the crack of your arse covered in any squatting position, and it also protects from wet or cold surfaces when sitting. Unbemazing!
Non-chafing raglan sleeves
Raglan sleeves, these are an elegant solution! No seams anywhere on top of the shoulders, so there's no chafing when carrying backpacks. Mobility of the arms is better as well.
Size guide
These come in three sizes with a loose fit. Each size has a recommended user height and chest circumference. Understand that the fit is not like a parade dress or in any other way or form a socially normative choice.
The main thing to consider is the chest circumference, as a too-small shirt will be difficult to don. The length is generous and if the sleeves overshoot your hands, just fold them for a tailored fit.
Above are more detailed charts of the garment measurements as follows: chest width (pit to pit), front length from the collar to the hem, center back length from the bottom of the hood to the hem, sleeve top length from the base of the hood to the cuff, and sleeve length from the armpit to the cuff. The tolerance is about 1 cm (0.4") either way.

Technical details and instructions
Materials
We used to make these for a long time under the Jämä brand from army surplus blankets and other materials we happened to find, hence the name. The availability couldn't keep up with the demand, so these are now made from purpose-sourced materials as the Särmä Blanket Shirt. The wool fabric is the same as we use on our Woolshell garments: 70% recycled wool, 30% recycled polyamide, weight at least 400 g/m2, and the fabrics are made in Italy.
Airing out will do the garment good and this is basically the regular "cleaning" you'll do. What comes to more thorough cleaning, as the first option it's best to try just brushing off any stains or spot clean with water and mild soap. If you manage to get this dirty as hell and absolutely need to use a washing machine, try a gentle wool cycle at 30 degrees Celsius (86 F). Use wool care products while you're at it, it'll make the garment restore its natural woolly goody features. Hang dry, stretch the garment out a bit while it's drying.
