Iconic Eastern Bloc Design – Grade 1 Surplus
Discover the distinct character of the Genuine Romanian Army Blue Wool Blanket. Sourced directly from the depots of the former Socialist Republic of Romania, these blankets are easily recognized by their three decorative stripes, making them a stylish yet highly functional piece of Eastern Bloc militaria.
Dating primarily to the 1980s, these blankets were built to withstand 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 glamping.
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.
Variable Vintage Aesthetics While all blankets feature the signature blue base and three stripe detail, please be aware that colors can vary slightly. Due to different manufacturing batches over the decades and long-term storage, the base color may range from a vivid cyan-blue to a deeper airforce blue or grey-blue. This variation ensures that every blanket is a unique piece of history.
