Why it's buy-it-for-life
Redditors report vintage examples from the 1910s-1970s still going strong generations later, big and warm enough to share across a couch, though several warn that current-production blankets don't match the old quality.

wool vintage heirloom point-blanket made-in-england
This true heirloom from my late mother-in-law is massive and somehow contains the warmth of the Sun in its fibers... this thing feels indestructible.
They're ridiculously thick and warm.
I inherited one from my mother who inherited from great grandmother. 1915 or so... Looks the same as yours.
Beautiful, I love this style print... but the quality here is perfection
The new ones are expensive and I've read bad things about their durability, so keep that in good shape.
I love my point blanket. It will be a real shame when HBC goes out of business and there's no longer available for sale
