Damn right. I don't care what the name is, they aren't getting a dime of my money.
I had one, it was my favouritest, but all the "fur" fell out of the hood for whyever. I guess age. One of these days I'm gonna buy the blanket and make the homemade coat. It's one of my life goals.
I don't aim high.

I just rifled through the HBC website and have found what I have always wanted... $CD450 traditional 100% point blankets in king size. At least I think they are the ones I remember. Those are the ones that weigh like 15 pounds and feel like they would stop bullets, no? The bastards won't ship outside of Canada. So much for NAFTA.

Nevermind 
I live in the U.S. Where can I purchase Hbc point blankets?
Woolrich, Inc. holds the exclusive licence for Hbc blankets in the U.S., i.e. they are the only company allowed to import them. They are available from Woolrich, L.L. Bean and Getz Department Store. All these companies offer the blankets for sale on their websites.
Getz sells 2 color styles for $390, LL Bean for $399 in different colors, Woolrich was insane. It would have ot be an online order as the nearest retailer is damn near in Maryland.
Now I need to figure out the exchange rate to see if I need to get one of you Cannucks to buy it for me and ship one down.
(I'm just dreaming here... only take me half seriously)

1 CAD = 0.849066 USD
EEK!
Thats almost a wash... and after customs and shipping it would surely be a loss. Nevermind x 2.
I just wish I could hold one to see if it is really something that I need or really want. It might just be too much blanket for this climate.

Here's an idea. Drag yourselves up here, and I'll see that you find your way to a Bay store which supplies them. You can fondle them to your heart's content. You could even grope the missus's coat and if you like them, I could have a couple sent down next winter. Then you wouldn't need to be afraid of the cold ... it would be afraid of you.

Yup. I can even justify the cost of a bear skin rug and a fireplace.
Remember when I was down there wearing synthetics and you guys recommended cotton as being cooler? I trusted you guys because you live with that heat. Trust me when it comes to cold. The only thing that beats wool ... is down. And take a wild guess what's on my bed. Now ... down, you could never justify.
