Don’t underestimate the power of a military-inspired blanket. Equal parts rough and tough, this field blanket is woven in Germany on an old Jaquard loom controlled by punched cards. The result is a super soft, super durable blanket perfect for lazing on the couch or watching the waves crash at the beach. Adding to its charm, this blanket is 100 percent cotton and machine washable.
