Chatham Blanket
Chatham Blanket
$249.00
This 100% wool blanket is mostly undyed, with a fine texture that is soft and insulating. The natural creamy-white ground is set off with bright indigo stripes and matching whipstitched edges for added durability. Each is branded with a sewn-on label. The blanket is 60x76inches, which is throw sized. It's designed to be versatile, portable, soft and, of course, warm.
Alex Chatham – an industrial designer, best known for designing the Peloton bike, and namesake of the founder of the Chatham Mill – has reinvigorated the family business by creating a similarly luxurious but durable wool blanket that will live up to the standards of the modern customer. “As Americans, our DNA and part of our legacy is industrialization,” Chatham explains. “We were the greatest industrial nation in the world by far, and I think that that is an intense part of our culture.” The family mill was abandoned long ago, and there are currently only four mills in the United States capable of producing a blanket to Chatham’s specs. Alex settled on one in north-eastern Connecticut that’s been in operation since before the Civil War.
