Hi, does anyone have any experience with Hudson Bay or Witley blankets?
I understand he are some of the best wool blankets around.
Cheers

Hudsons Bay Co. are excellent blankets and have been known to last a long time, i have one from the 1960s and it is still going strong.

Sorry to hear that.
I have one for witney blankets which are the old suppliers and have found some in the UK. http://witneybedding.co.uk/purchase_poin...ts_26.html#
Because the blankets are made in the UK ad shipped to Canada and USA under license you usually have to buy them from America and get them shipped back here. I have learned that customs likes to screw you over if you buy stuff from across the pond.

RE: Blankets
Bp, Look under the link supplied. They are *cough* slightly cheaper in £.
They may be the best blankets in the world but I wouldn't spend that much on one. Has someone got a spare uncle in Canada they are not using.

RE: Blankets
These are the Crème de la crème of wool blankets. I hear they are able to go to below 0C outside for sleeping in and super durable. I have a couple of surplus wool blanket paired withe a soft but really thin alpaca throw. I might save up and get a witney but it is a lot.
