Pendleton's Harding blanket comes in robe size, the size preferred by Native Americans for ceremonial purposes and wrapping about oneself as a robe. It is impressive as a wall hanging and practical when folded on a sofa or at the foot of a bed. Expertly loomed, dyed and woven of pure virgin wool in Pendleton’s Oregon mill, in a double-sided design for two different looks. Pendleton Blanket Robe Harding / Shale Dimensions: 203cm x 162cm 82% Pure Virgin Wool / 18% Cotton Napped Felt Bound Dry Clean Made in USA The Harding Pattern: In 1923, President Harding and his wife, Florence, visited the Wesst to dedicate a portion of the Old Oregon Trail. At the ceremony, Chief Cap Sumkins of the Cayuse tribe and Chief Poker Jim of the Umatilla tribe presented the First Lady with a newly designed blanket that symbolized Mrs. Harding's sincere and forthright nature. Since 1926, this unique design has been known as the 'Harding'.
