According to the supplier, this is a reproduction of a WWII US blanket. However, it looks more like a British surplus blanket with a US tag put on. Looks the part though! Be it whichever, these are big and nicely priced blankets perfectly suited for civilian activities at home and in the wilderness.
Blankets are so versatile buggers that everybody should have at least one, preferably more so that you don’t have to fight among family members for the possession of the only one. These are quite thin so you can easily turn these into all sorts of bush ponchos and other magic cloaks. Of course, you can use these as outdoor blankets excluding the cold Nordic winters or all year round on your couch. Furthermore, you can cut and sew these into something cool.
Unused. These can have some dust and such from the warehouse because these aren’t individually wrapped in anything. They come with a distinct surplus smell but you can get rid of it by airing these out. Or you can use the smell of victory to toughen yourself up.
