Our original D-Day design is packed with historical references woven in a made in America 100% combed cotton blanket. 

This original design features elements from several aspects of the landing:
  • A C-47, with “Invasion stripes,” along with other planes that were used to transport paratroopers and to tow gliders
  • Paratroopers and the drop zones, which were identified by letters (D, E, C, W, A, O, T, N)
  • Barrage balloons that were set up to protect the landing area from enemy planes 
  • The beaches and nations assigned to each, listed in the order in which the men landing on the beaches saw them.
  • The flags of the major allied nations involved in the landing, including the Red Ensign for Canadian troops and the 48-star flag for US troops.
  • The sectors for each beach—Starting under Omaha, they are in alphabetic order
  • Troops of Company E, 16th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division (the Big Red One), wading onto the Easy Red section of Omaha Beach from the USS Samuel Chase
  • Text from the order of the day, which was distributed on the evening before as a printed leaflet to 175,000 members of the Allied forces

All of these details and the rest of the image are woven, not printed. 

We're using the same weaver as we use for our "Mayflower" and our "Victory or Death"  blankets that have gotten such rave reviews:

This blanket is incredibly high quality and I could not be happier! Thank you! — Jessica

This is a beautiful blanket. It feels like it should have cost twice as much, it's so high quality and well-made. And for its size, it somehow manages to be very lightweight, which is perfect because it can be used year-round instead of confined to the winter. Very pleased with the size, weight, craftsmanship, packaging, and service. —  Annalise

Size: 54" x 70"

Care instructions: Hand or machine wash in cool water using a mild detergent on a gentle cycle. Hang to dry or dry on a cool cycle.
