CS Blankets are finally here!

Re: CS Blankets are finally here!

Guys,

As much as I appreciate the heartfelt discussion on love and life, I don't think my advertisement for reproduction CS blankets is the place for it. Thanks for understanding.

Gents-

We're moving into tangent-land here... discussion is no longer part of the thread on Mr. Wambaugh's blankets. No offense... but I'll do some house cleaning. I'll remove the older posts on here so we can make room for other's comments about the blankets themselves.

Social groups are open to discuss life and share fellowship. I sometimes like to talk with friends too...:o

Thanks to all! -Johnny Lloyd:wink_smil

Re: CS Blankets are finally here!

Everyone that pre-ordered this summer and places their order before the 16th will have their blankets in the mail on the 19th at the latest.

Bill,

Yes, we were plagued by delays, some expected, some not so much. Originally I had planned to have them on hand in September, then it was mid November, now just to get the blankets out to the US customers that ordered for Christmas I'm having to drive half way across the country the week before Christmas, pack the blankets in Pat Kline's mill, and get them to the nearest post office.

And to think I originally wanted to have all the blankets on hand before I even announced that we were making them!


Best,

Re: CS Blankets are finally here!

Folks,

Just a quick update toll know that the first 70 blankets were mailed out of Red Lion this afternoon (much to the chagrin of the poor folks in line behind us.)

Our van is now packed to the top with CS blankets and amazing FHW cloth, and the icing on the cake is that we just returned from visiting the original blanket and photographing our reproduction next to it. Enjoy!

Re: CS Blankets are finally here!

My blanket came today in the mail. What a Christmas present, it is awesome. Dan, I appreciate the hard work you put into having these made. Unfortunately, it will be a few months before I get to use it in the field.

It is magnificent Dan, I know some Frenchs guys which wait for their Christmas present with stars in eyes... We are all children, thanks for helping us to refind this small light in eyes Dan... ;)

Re: CS Blankets are finally here!

My blanket came in the mail today as well and it is everything I could have hoped for and can't wait to use it in the field. I'm currently working on whip stitching the ends to keep them from fraying. I know the original is frayed but I'd like this blanket to last a long time. Great work Brian and Dan!

Best Regards,

Dan,
The blanket is fantastic! Congrats to you and Brian, and also to Pat for producing such a wonderful reproduction.

Thanks,

Re: CS Blankets are finally here!

Damn all of you who live in PA and get your blanket before the rest of us!:D

Re: CS Blankets are finally here!

Jared,

I think the TWO FEET of snow probably had more to do with your not receiving your blanket yet, truthfully you were probably closer than just about anyone else from where we mailed them.

Today we made our deliveries of the blankets in Gettysburg. I can only lament that Gibson wasn't there to photograph the sight of Brian and I carrying a fifteen blanket roll across a deserted, snowbound Steinwehr avenue this morning. If anyone else had been foolish enough to be out in the weather with us I am certain they would be laughing themselves silly.

Re: CS Blankets are finally here!

All,
I regret that I will not be getting one of these blankets, but I will say that Dan and Brian deserve a hearty THANK YOU from this hobby and this community for the efforts in making this blanket run even possible! It's a better hobby because of vendors willing to take the financial risk and push the envelope to make sure we all look the part!

Proud to know you both as friends.

Re: CS Blankets are finally here!

I second that motion!
Before I receive mine, I want to say THANK YOU to Dan and Brian for what they've gone through to produce something as authentic as this blanket (and especially for being the only ones daring enough to brave the snow that you guys back east are all getting!:D)
Seeing the picture of Dan and Brian's repro side by side with the original made any buyer's remorse I had evaporate.
I love the history behind the original and I can't wait to get mine!
Thank you!

Re: CS Blankets are finally here!

I'm hoping to get a big box from Dan....SOON! SA sack coat kit, Fed domet drawers kit, drawers and a blanket! Will be a merry Christmas here whenever that box or boxes get here!
