Pendleton Lost Trail Blanket One Color, One Size

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The Lost Trail is one of those Pendleton blankets where the story behind the pattern actually makes you look at it differently. Once you know the two peaked bands represent the Columbia River Basin drainages divided at Lost Trail Pass, it stops being just a geometric design. Construction-wise, the unnapped weave is the right call for wool this quality. It keeps the pattern definition tight and gives the blanket a more substantial feel than a brushed alternative. The 82/18 wool-cotton blend hits a nice balance of warmth and breathability that works well beyond just cold months.""In September of 1805, the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery couldn't find a way through the Bitterroot Mountains. That struggle gave Lost Trail Pass its name, and more than two centuries later, Pendleton wove that geography into the Lost Trail Blanket. The pattern isn't decorative shorthand. Each band maps something real. The two peaked bands mark the Columbia River Basin drainages divided by the pass, Bitterroot Clark-Fork to the north and Salmon to the south. The middle band represents the Lost Trail National Wildlife Refuge below. The blanket itself is built from 82% pure virgin wool and 18% cotton, unnapped and uncombed so the pattern reads with the sharpness the design earns. Felt binding finishes the edges cleanly, and the weight ranges from 5. 2 pounds in twin up to 8. 6 in king, giving it the kind of presence on a bed that lighter alternatives never quite manage. Woven in Pendleton's American mills with over a century of production behind them, the Lost Trail is the kind of blanket that doesn't need to be replaced."
