Heaviest wool blanket I've ever bought . I got 8 of em for $ 400 bucks 4 years ago . Only other one I lke even better is the Italian Air Force officers wool blanket , which I paid $480 plus shpg for . They are also VERY heavy , blue and white , with a prop/ eagle in the middle of em . I've slept in these skin to wool ....no itch at all .
These are Royal Dutch navy blankets contracted at about 2007 and surplus after the commissioning of several new ships - i have several that i bid about $160 each and worth every guilder but are not suitable for bivouac as the much more durable Dutch marine olive drab thick wool -probably boiled- made by AaBe in Tilberg that are among the best for bivouac; apart from this naval surplus, i do not know what the Dutch land and air forces are now using as blankets though i am sure they are of the best and suitable wool given there are more sheep on Texel than Dutchmen. TOT ZEINS!
Best traditional leather belt is the 'Lifetime Belt" from Duluth Trading Company. I've been wearing this belt for over twenty years.
