‘Be prepared’, the Boy Scout motto, applies to the Swiss too. In fact, it is thanks to their famed efficiency and forward thinking that the classic Swiss Army blanket can still be found in considerable numbers. The blankets were manufactured from the end of the 1900’s until the late 60s and their intended use was keeping troops warm if the Swiss became involved in a war. Fortunately they never did and – as romance would have it – stacks of the blankets were stored in caves in the Swiss Alps for many peaceful decades. Every once in a while a limited number of these blankets, brand-new and unused, become available.The Swiss Wool Blanket 200 x 140 cm comes from Swiss Army stock and is in like new condition. It reliably keeps you warm in emergency situations.Size 200x140 cm (Single Bed) - Please note that the army does not make blankets for Double, Queen or King Beds as they prefer their soldiers to sleep alone.Please note: as these are military surplus there may be some colour, quality and style variation to the image shown.
