I was a little hesitant to spend so much on a blanket, only having blankets from chain retail stores that cost a fraction of this throughout my life, but once I got it in my hands I instantly noticed how well-made it is with no imperfections! I've only had it for a short while, but I'm sure this blanket will hold up for many years of use given the attention to detail in its production and use of materials all sourced right here in the USA. It is about a medium-weight blanket that will be fine on its own in the summer or as an additional cover on top of me in the winter. I ordered a full/queen size in Coastal Blue and it's the perfect size for my queen bed. I love how soft yet durable it feels already and the herringbone pattern is really cool too, it doesn't look weird or cheap and adds a nice touch to the overall design.
There are other companies that offer higher-priced bedding, but most of those items are not made in the USA and if you're in this price bracket anyways by looking at the competition, you might as well spend the money on American products made with American-sourced materials and keep American manufacturing alive with companies like Authenticity50. You can tell the employees at A50 put love and passion into their work!
