    FYI, a Filson Mackinaw Cruiser Coat is 24oz material.

    If someone has a blanket they like, let me know the size and weight, it is easy enough to calculate.
    I'd be interested in a queen size 25 oz. natural colours.

    I have a 32 oz.(/ sq yd) 72"x85" wool blanket. It weighs in at 10 pounds.
    Not for light weight back packing. :D

    Excellent, the heavier the better. I'm thinking not only for outdoor bedding, but also a camp fire blanket for the cold spring, fall, and winter nights that can also be folded for a make shift dog bed. Lots of versitility with the heavy stuff IMHO. Light ones are better for backpacking of course but looks like quite a strong demand for both! Makes me warm and fuzzy inside just thinking about it. And I also think the green ones are warmer. I'll still take two 25oz thanks.

    Indeed, but an authentic mackinaw blanket uses 35 oz fabric (and weighs in over 9 lbs )

    Of course it also weighs on the wallet at 200 bucks plus shipping.

    I'm in for 1 of each weight probably. Depending on colours available. Definitely need some tough edging though.

    Ya the 20 oz would probably be better for a backpack. I'm hoping to narrow my gear down to a tarp, wool blanket, zebra billy can, knives and spork.

    Must be a slow day if we are talking about blankets on CGN.

    You make a very good point about the tough edging but if need be any local clothing repair shop could add whatever you like for a nominal fee.
