Hudson's Bay 350th Anniversary Limited Edition Sterling 8 Point Blanket 100% Wool King Size

Description

For well over two centuries, the Hudson’s Bay Point Blanket has been an iconic product in Canada and around the world. Hudson’s Bay Company has commissioned these fine English-made woolen blankets since 1780, many becoming heirlooms that are passed on from one generation to the next. The points, or small black bars on the side of the blanket, were utilized during the fur trade as an indication of size -- a measure that continues to this day. First introduced to shoppers in the 1920s, this colourway follows the tradition of other Standard Colourways featuring a field of a bold, classic colour and bars and points in black or indigo. Certainly, the timelessness and warmth of a camel coat is reflected in the enduring beauty of this reissued Point Blanket, making it a reflection of our role in Canada as a fashion leader.
