Once upon a time, we had a stockpile of thousands of what we thought was nothing but the original Italian wool soldiers' blankets. But, in the mix, we discovered a few heavy Italian officers' blankets with stars. Needless to say, we were in love instantly. Although everyone adored and wanted these gems, we didn't feel it was right to sell them... the horrendous smell of mothballs was insufferable, and we decided that it wasn't right to ship them in that condition.
Since there were no more to be found (and everybody wanted them) we decided to recreate this beautiful Italian officer's blanket. It weighs a whopping 5 lbs, is made of 80% wool, and is 60" x 84" with the officer star stitch. NO SMELL, heavy-duty quality soft, and beautiful.
Get them while they last... limited quantities are available and they sell out quickly. This is the most popular piece in our line of Classic Wool blankets.
Military Surplus Sizing Guide
Due to the wide variety of surplus clothing we carry, a standardized sizing guide helps customers find the best fit. However, military surplus can vary significantly in fit and cut. This chart serves as a general reference rather than an exact, tailor-level measurement.
Each military has its own sizing system, which is why we’ve created this guide to help you understand how we size our surplus garments.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
When an official military size chart is unavailable, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit (PtP) to estimate its fit. If a measurement falls between sizes, we round it down. For example, a shirt with a 19.75" PtP is categorized as a Small rather than a Medium.
Sizing Chart (Armpit-to-Armpit Measurement)
- 14"-15" PtP = XXS
- 16"-17" PtP = XS
- 18"-19" PtP = Small
- 20"-21" PtP = Medium
- 22"-23" PtP = Large
- 24"-25" PtP = XL
- 26"-27" PtP = XXL
- 28"-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We convert military pants to standard U.S. waist and inseam sizes. If a pair measures between sizes, we round down. For example, a 33" waist is listed as a 32" waist.
How We Measure Pants:
- Waist: Pants are laid flat, and we measure straight across the waistband. This number is doubled to determine the U.S. waist size. (Example: A 16" flat waist measurement equates to a U.S. 32" waist.)
- Inseam: We measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. (Example: A measurement of 30" from crotch to cuff is listed as a 30" inseam or 30L.)
