OK, so this might be disgustingly overpriced, and we're sure many of you have all kinds of sneaky resources to get these blankets for like, $5 a pop (don't be stingy, share the love), but we love the rugged look of Swiss Army blankets from Robert Redford's Sundance catalog.
These blankets are guaranteed to be the "real deal," made of wool and horse hair to keep us warm (and reportedly soft to touch, but we've heard otherwise), while the classic red stripe and signature cross give this blanket authenticity. Also? Each blanket is marked with a unique issue number. Maybe that's why it's priced at...$300?
Available at Sundance Catalog.

You can find them on army supply stores online for $20 or ebay.
$300 is an extreme rip off.
In fact apartment therapy already did a post about this blanket found at another store for $50.

$300 for a $20 blanket?
That´s way too much for that blanket, but then again I live in Germany so ummm they are way cheaper here.
A new use for the swiss blankets I´ve seen here is by a company called canvasco, they make messenger bags out of the blankets, I have one and that didn´t cost me 300 dollars or 300 euros.
