Woolrich: The Last Company Still Making Blankets in Their Mills Since the Civil War!

~ Large Blankets to Keep You Warm Just Like the Soldiers ~

 
 
Review by Mama Luvs Books:
We are huge history buffs in our household. My husband has a goal to visit every Civil War battlefield in the US, and I used to want to work as a Colonial Girl in Williamsburg (which never happened). History is so intriguing and interesting to learn about. If we don't look and see how we've done things in the past, then we will never learn how to better ourselves as a culture in the future.
When I was given the chance to review a blanket from Woolrich I was super excited. These blankets are made just the same as they were in the Civil War, and in the same working mill that they were made in during that time. How cool is that? The company provides many of their materials to Hollywood for making outfits and props for that era, but you can order one just for you too!
You can choose a blanket from Gettysburg, Fort Sumter, the Cavalry or Artillery. See them on their site.  
Description from their site:

Civil War blankets were made by Woolrich and supplied to troops from 1861-1865. Today, historical groups and movie studios purchase bolts of Woolrich fabric to create authentic uniforms and blankets for re-enactments of this important period of American history.We've created these Civil War Blankets in commemoration of that historic period. Ready to use and enjoy, they are a unique chance to own and enjoy a blanket made in the same Woolrich mill that created the originals.

  3. Ooo this is so difficult to choose. I LOVE the bright/bold red of the Artillery but the Sumter matches so well with most of the colors of my bedroom. So, I think Sumter wins out, that way I have an excuse to tell the kids why they can't have it, It doesn't match their decor.
