Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After seeing some of the negative reviews I feel I should make two quick notes. One: DO NOT WASH THIS BLANKET IN THE WASHING MACHINE! If you don’t know how to care for a wool blanket, don’t get mad and leave a sour review when you ruin it. Take 5 minutes and hit up their website and read up on the care. Washing will cause it for shrink and shed. Spot wash as much as you can. Two: Yes, it smells. It smells just like a wool blanket. When they’re new, that smell is always stronger. As you air the blanket out it will be less pungent, but it’s always there. I used them growing up so I’m used to it, but some people are very sensitive to it to where it smells like some type of fuel. If you notice it but it doesn’t make you gag, let it air out by just spreading it out outside on a dry day, or even in your garage where you can open the door, and it will freshen the wool. I’ve heard of people also rubbing dryer sheets on it after airing it out and it will smell like a newly dried blanket for a long time. But, It just smells like a wool blanket, so you might want to go sniff a real wool blanket and see if you like the smell before buying a more expensive one like this. Overall: Just a great wool blanket. It’s softer than some, not as soft as others. Still great and will get used a lot this hunting season. My favorite feature is the stitching around the edge. It’s about 1/2-1” thick and is super sturdy. The overall quality is definitely 10/10, worth the asking price. If they’re out of stock here, you can find them at the Wolly Mammoth website. It’s where I got mine when amazon couldn’t deliver. Same price for me at the time too. Worth every penny. Softness: 7/10 - it’s wool, not necessarily designed for softness in my experience. Warmth 10/10 - this with my swagman roll makes this dad all toasty and warm. Comfort 9/10 - it’s a super nice wool blanket of very high quality, but do consider its weight. Wool blankets are heavy in general, and this XL one keeps the tradition going. I may buy the smaller one for camping and keep this one in my FJ.
