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



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

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.

      I like Artillery the best.

      The entire concept of recreating these blankets is pretty interesting.

      I would pick a Civil War Artillery Blanket; the color is so deep. I would keep it on the sofa for everyone to see and use.

      Either artillery or cavalry. I would let my son decide between those two, as it would be for him. Thanks for the chance to win.

      I really like the Gettysburg, but I also like the Artillery and for me that one is more practical for use as well. They all are gorgeous.

      I would choose the artillery blanket also………..if I should be chosen to win.
      I love everything about the “War between the States.” and especially love visiting Stone Mountain, Georgia. Anyone who loves Civil War History should visit this
      Site with it’s huge Granite Mountain.
