Gentleman of Fortune Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) SOLD With the best intentions, I bought the blankets to make short jackets or some other bit of sailor clothing.... These are vintage blankets... I am guessing most are at least 20-30 years old at least... some maybe twice that. SOLD Paypal is best for me. WB-1 & WB-2 88" x 65" Old wool blankets make great short jackets. I am a big guy and I got a short jacket out of one of these easy with room to spare. 100% blankets are getting harder to find... so I'll make it easy for you. These blankets are basket woven and have been washed multiple times in their careers. They have that nappy tight woven-ness that was great for nautical clothing during the GAoP. With two, you could make a long frock coat, great coat, or Justaucorps. Or just a neat short jacket. WB-3 80" x 60" Same as above but tighter woven and more nappy and a little smaller. Light blue. Would make a sweet sailor's jacket WB-4 $15 78" x 62" Same as above but really think and Nappy. Its pink... or "salmon". A popular color (it was an easy color to dye/achieve in the GAoP). I made my short jacket from this blanket's brother (or sister) WB-5 84" x 64" This blanket is a little thinner than the above, but still a nice piece of fabric for your progject. This one is a mint green color Posted Image Edited January 7, 2010 by Gentleman of Fortune Come aboard my pirate re-enacting site http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/ Where you will find lots of information on building your authentic Pirate Impression!
