• Woven in Pendleton's own Oregon and Washington mills since 1909 — one of the few big US textile brands still actually made in America
• Park-stripe designs date to 1916; a portion of proceeds funds park preservation
• It's a $300 blanket — buy it in Oregon and save the ~9% tax you'd pay elsewhere
• Wool blankets are bulky; Pendleton ships internationally, but carrying it home avoids courier customs hassle
• Cheaper authentic alternative in the same stores: Pendleton wool scarves and towels from ~$50
