A traditional Early's of Witney English horse blanket.
The pure new wool in the blanket is woven on a traditional oversized loom before being milled in to give a finished weight of 700gsm. It's then washed, dryed, combed and brushed a number of times to produce the soft pile whilst retaining its hardwearing qualities.
Early's of Witney was the iconic English blanket manufacturer providing "Incomparable quality since 1669". Sadly, they have now ceased trading and Friday Fox Ltd has acquired all the remaining stock of their horse blankets and many of the old machines used by Earlys to make up their blankets. There are only a few of these blankets remaining.
