Genuine Romanian Army / Airforce Blue Wool Blanket – 100% Wool Eastern Bloc Surplus (Vintage 1980s)
Authentic Cold War Warmth – Grade 1 Surplus
Wrap yourself in a piece of military history with this Genuine Romanian Army / Airforce Blue Wool Blanket. Sourced directly from the depots of the former Socialist Republic of Romania, these blankets are a striking piece of Eastern Bloc militaria that offer incredible warmth and durability.
Dating primarily to the 1980s, these blankets were built to survive the harsh, bitter winters of Eastern Europe. Unlike modern synthetic blends, this blanket is crafted from 100% thick, heavy wool. Known for its superior thermal properties, wool is naturally breathable, fire-retardant, and insulates even when damp, making this an essential piece of kit for bushcraft, camping, or emergency preparedness.
Condition Report: Grade 1 Surplus These blankets are sold as Grade 1 Used Surplus. This means they have been previously issued to soldiers but remain in very good, serviceable condition. As genuine vintage items aged 30-40 years, you may find very minor defects such as small professional repairs, slight fading, storage dust, or unique character marks from their time in service. These imperfections do not affect the thermal performance of the wool and only add to the authentic vintage appeal.
Distinctive Aesthetic Featuring a unique solid Cyan Blue color distinct to the Romanian forces (Forțele Armate Române), this blanket adds a pop of vibrant history to your gear or home decor. The edges are finished with a durable synthetic hem to prevent fraying, ensuring this vintage item lasts for years to come.
