blanket
(2009-12-18)
First the good - very well made, very nice - it matches one of two original WW1 blankets I own.
Which is also bad. My originals are intact. They have no wear, rips, moth holes, etc. but they have shrunk - they have lost weight (possibly when the wool looses moisture?). The regs for this specific blanket call for it to weight not less than 5 pounds - what I received only weights 4 pounds 3 ounces.
So - for being about 3/4 pounds under weight -but fine in all other respects - I can only give it a 4.

Just got the blanket today. Its very close to the original, taking into fact 90+ years age difference. The only problem..the shipping is not free, despite what it says on the website. It adds $6.00 to the price. Otherwise I''m again satisified with my purchase from WPG
