Filson Mackinaw Wool Vest

No, this blanket requires dry cleaning only. Because it is made from 100% natural wool, machine washing or drying will cause the fibers to felt and shrink, ruining the blanket's texture and dimensions.

While it is made from high-quality, heavy-duty wool, it retains the natural, slightly textured feel characteristic of raw wool. If you have sensitive skin, you may prefer to use it as a top layer over a sheet or base layer rather than directly against your skin.

Yes, it is designed for all-season use and provides substantial warmth due to the dense, natural wool construction. It is heavy enough to serve as a primary layer during chilly evenings, though you may want an additional quilt in extreme sub-zero temperatures.

The edges are meticulously serged, which is a durable overlock stitch designed to prevent fraying and secure the fabric edges. This construction method ensures the blanket maintains its shape and integrity even with regular use.

Yes, wool is naturally moisture-wicking, meaning it can absorb moisture without feeling damp or losing its insulating properties. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoor use, such as camping or sitting on a porch, where humidity or dew might be a factor.
