The original Chatham Blanket, made in the 1890s, recreated using archival material. They were designed to be rugged and versatile. Used on a bed on cold nights, or on a lap outdoors, or on the grass for a picnic. They can stand up to years of indoor and outdoor use. The material is all wool, finished with a nap. This blanket makes a great throw, picnic blanket or small bed blanket.
