found a blanket for my blanket shirt, i have to go in to perth by train and the surplus store is 200 yards from the station but it is worth it,its 60"x80" 50% wool 50% synthetics but for $14.50 ozy brand new i aint going to complaine.

Mr Woodchuck

  I'd get more than one Bernie ... any kind of wool blankets be harder to get anymore.
  You gonna look spiffy in ya blanket shirt ...
lol

That don't look like too bad of a blanket, Bernie. It's very hard and expensive to find 100% wool anymore.

tom-h

very nice blanket and an excellent price too.

windwalker_au

they have 100% wool but they are $85 thats to expensive.
Bernie ;D

tom-h

Not to steal your thread Bernie
Have any of you tried the wool blankets from Harbor Freight?

Mr Woodchuck

Jerry  rumor has it the ones from Harbor frieght (sp) haave a horrible smell to them that will not wash out ...

      Bernie   blended wool products are stronger and wear better ... they are jus plain tuffer ...
        I always try to get blended.

only thing I have to say about the cheaper than dirt blankets - they are relatively thin, yet seem very stiff and heavy. I've got a capote made from one and it is just not comfortable, I'd sell it or give it away but wouldn't feel right about it really since I'm not happy with it, I don't know why anyone else would be.
