The Camp Blanket Kit
The Camp Blanket Kit
The camp blanket embodies the feeling of wrapping yourself in a thick wool blanket as last rays of the sun hit a nearby mountain peak. Inspired by vintage plaids, the design is slightly asymmetrical in the colours of your grandpas camping gear; navy, red, green and yellow. The result is a classic wool blanket that is tough enough to withstand your long weekend jaunts into the wilderness.
