The Himelbros X F as in Frank collaboration jacket:

F as in Frank discovered bolts of original Polo Country Fireball woolblanket material woven in a mill in Italy and approached us to buildblanket/leather jackets in some of our most sought after 30s inspiredpatterns. Blanket jackets are a North American tradition stretchingback to 1807 when the British Military at Fort St. Joseph commissionedthe first ones made from trade blankets to clothe troops marching in thedead of winter to repel the American invaders. By the turn of thecentury American woollen mills were churning out blankets with distinctreferences to indigenous patterns of the south west and in turn sewingthem into warm Mackinaw style coats. Himel bros started combiningvintage blankets and our pasterns in 2012 and this latest collaborationwas the inspiration of the Heifetz brothers and their discovery of theseold stock rare 1990s 30's inspired blanket.
