The kitties are just adding an extra layer of catsmere.

I'll see myself out.

Cavalry. Calvary (also known as Golgotha) is where Jesus was said to have been crucified.

I got a couple blankets from the factory store in Woolrich PA around 8 years ago, same style but different color. Mine's gone around the world with me on my army adventures. The other's been in my dad's boat on countless fishing trips. Both are still in fantastic condition.

I believe it's a repro of an artillery blanket- Civil War artillery had red trim (generally speaking), cavalry had yellow trim.

Is it itchy?

Mine has gotten softer after a few years. I have had it dry cleaned twice. Not really itchy now. May have been a little itchy at first.

Probably a little bit. Nothing keeps warm like wool and cashmere though.

Woolrich wool blanket. I think it’s a reproduction of a civil war Calvary blanket? I didn’t see it on their website anywhere currently. Super warm, I love it! Unfortunately my kitties love it too. Hair all over it.
