SoF have now got some brown postwar US issue blankets in. At £60 each! I think I'll be sticking with my £7 surplus ones...
erm yeah... I have one that I have been informed is a WW1 one... price... £20.
if the put the "airborne" on, they will get some smegheads paying £100.............
he he
eventually I would like an 'accurate blanket' - which has to be a definition of some kind of insanity. but I will not be paying £60 for one. unless it is made of truffles, gold and cocaine!
erm... they're hospital blankets or some such... there's a medical symbol on them.
Post war ones tend to be dark green.
So an interesting find for them, but if you want them proper brown WWII blankets are about.
I'm trying to dig out the link to the grey blanket I have. Cost £20. On a side note, repro packs have the holes for the entrenching tool and bayonet in the wrong place. word of warning.
SOF ones pat? why oh why am i not surprised lol
Funnily enough, it was from epic. which surprised me
BTW heres the link

and it was cheaper than I remember.
I was looking at those for my German gear. Are they plain grey? Most I've seen have a coloured border.
Stand by. They have a faint blue/grey line around the sides. Mostly grey though.
I can live with that. The other ones I saw had red borders. It does say various shades so hopefully it will turn out like yours.
They sell them 'unedged' which are just plain grey, though we got the ones with the red edging on them.
To be honest once you fold it you cant really see them. Grey blankets are bloody hard to get, I'd get one.
sof, why not just burn your money????
I got a brand new surplus ex Army wool blanket for £5 on Ebay....its massive!

Not sure if brown but £40 cheaper than SOF
but no, its £43 cheaper , it looks like the sof one, so who knows.....
The SOF ones are post war though, get a brown or grey one! Cheaper and they look better!
Guys please for the love of god don't use SOF's catalogue as a bible! They'll say whatever to sell stuff.
Bloody typical- I order one and it turns up cream coloured! Any Americans want a cream coloured blanket?
From SOF perchance?!
