Pendleton Napped Jaquard Blanket Robe – Wildland Heroes

DESCRIPTION

These traditional wool blankets from Pendleton are robe size, making them large enough to be worn, wrapped around oneself for warmth and weather protection. These blankets fit perfectly over a double bed, can be used for wall hangings or just for cuddling up on the sofa.

From Pendleton: “The scent of smoke fills the air. An orangeglow lights the horizon.
Mother Nature is on alert, and Wildland Firefighters stand ready
to defend her. These brave men and women hold the line against fire’s
destruction with team effort; digging lines, running hoses, saving structures when they can. In Pendleton’s tribute to Wildland Firefighting, bands of deep forest alternate with lines of flame, lighting trees endangered by flame. A portion of this blanket’s sales help the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, which supports families and injured firefighters in times of need.”

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS

Pendleton’s family history in Oregon dates back to 1863 when Thomas Kay, a young English weaver opened his own mill in Salem, Oregon. In 1909 Thomas’s three grandsons, Clarence Morton Bishop, Royal Thomas Bishop, and Robert Chauncey Bishop opened Pendleton Woolen Mills. Six generations later Pendleton Woolen Mills is still run in Oregon by the Bishop family.
