Their stuff is expensive, but everything I've heard about is once you buy it, you won't ever have to buy it again.

I tried some Sleeping Indian stuff and was not impressed not even considering the high cost.
There is another maker back east that is very expensive. I think they weave kevlar with wool.

You heard right. I have some Sleeping Indian that still looks brand new after 15 years. King of the Mountain is probably a tad better but it's splitting hairs IMO.

Better check again, partner. Besides blankets, scarfs, gloves and some hats, they are not made in the US anymore. I've been collecting it for a while now...
