Know before you buy
This is an authentic, original 1930s Swiss Army blanket. It is a genuine military surplus collectible from that era, not a modern replica.
As is typical with vintage military-grade wool, the texture is robust and structured rather than soft like modern fleece. It is best used as a top layer or throw, though it can be softened over time with proper care.
The blanket is in great condition for its age, showing the durability inherent in 1930s military textiles. While it may show minor signs of character consistent with its history, it remains structurally sound and functional.
Yes, the double-sided wool construction is exceptionally warm and durable, making it well-suited for outdoor use. Its heavy-duty weave provides excellent insulation during colder seasons.
To preserve the integrity of the vintage fibers, we recommend professional dry cleaning or gentle hand washing in cold water with a wool-safe detergent. Always air dry flat to prevent the wool from stretching or losing its shape.
