Made from traditional English horse blanket. The pure new wool blanket is woven on a traditional, oversized loom before being milled in to give a finished weight of 700gsm. The blanket is then washed, dryed, combed and brushed a number of times to produce the famous soft pile whilst retaining it's warmth, thickness and hardwearing qualities.
Here at Friday Fox we then cut the blankets to shape by hand. We then dart the quarters and add the "fixtures and fittings" before binding the blanket all round with a hard wearing navy binding. We use the best quality buckles and fittings on our horse blankets. These are all supplied to us by Abbey England, holders of the Royal Warrant for the supply of saddlery material to HM The Queen. In addition all our binding and webbing is woven for us in the UK by Bowmer Bond Narrow Fabrics. As they have been in business since 1795 they know quite a lot about this! Similarly our fillet strings are specially woven for us by Outhwaites Ropemakers who have been manufacturing rope since 1905.
Hence, the whole blanket is proudly made in England.
