Our Hudson's Bay Point Blankets under the official license of the historic Hudson's Bay Company. Our Hudson's Bay Point Blankets retain the authentic 100% wool quality that has made these blankets legendary. Like those sold in the 18th century, today's blankets are made in England with wool blended from sources in England, Wales, New Zealand, and India. Each type of wool is selected for qualities that help create a water-resistant, soft, warm, and strong final product. The wool is dyed before it is spun and then air- and sun-dried to brighten the colors. This blanket warms the interior of any home. It will keep you and your guests warm on the coldest nights, just as they've kept generations of trappers, hunters, fur traders, and Native Americans warm and comfortable. 100% wool. Imported. Dry clean. 100" x 108".

History of the Authentic Hudson Bay Point Blanket:

A Hudson's Bay point blanket is a type of wool blanket traded by the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) in western British North America and the United States during the 18th century and 19th century. The blankets were typically traded to First Nations and Native Americans in exchange for beaver pelts.

In the point system, a blanket of higher point value would supposedly be larger and warmer. A common misconception is that each point indicated a quantity of beaver pelts or Hudson's Bay Company money. Blankets varied in color and design. 

The current Hudson Bay Point Blanket seal is shown above and has been the seal "label" since May 2002.  The seal has been on the Hudson Bay Point Blankets since 1890, at that time other companies and competitors started producing similar wool blankets.  The Hudson Bay Blanket seal is helpful for collectors in determining the age of a Hudson Bay Blanket.
