Swiss Army Reproduction Wool Blanket Review

It would be more of a 3 star hotel if it wasn't so cheap. It smelled very strongly of solvent on arrival which rendered it unusable so I washed and tumble dried it although it is dry clean only. At first I had to stand by the dryer and clean the lint filter about every minute or so, and I would actually open the door and dig up big balls of yarn. But one day it all ended. It is heavy and warm and folds nicely and evenly. The color is nice too. It was not damaged in any way during…

Be aware that the color of this duvet is VERY different from the photo. I was so excited to order this as I was looking for a gray and red comforter. Imagine my surprise when she's very, very brown! After receiving it I went back to the description to see if I missed it and couldn't find the color anywhere specifically. I ordered decorative pillows that work and I love the quality of the comforter so I keep it to myself. As for the smell factor that everyone is talking about, I don't find it…

I heartily recommend this duvet. I have several military blankets. This is one of the best neo officer blankets in the class. The wool is thick and warm.

With a red stripe and a white cross, it has a visual appeal that most floor coverings can't have. This blanket is good in the $25-$45 price range. For some reason, this particular blanket has become…

Very disappointed with this blanket. I actually bought two - one for me and one for my sister. Our other sister and son-in-law live in Zurich and on the edge of their guest bed is an original from his time in the Swiss army. There's nothing quite like napping under a warm blanket after a long flight to snowy Switzerland. I thought it would be a fun keepsake and that's some rubbish. I expected it to smell and be hard as a rock, but it exceeded all of my expectations. I actually aired mine for a…
