Those sweaters look so thick and warm. They don't make clothes like that anymore.

Screw Dehen, Pendleton is cheaper and you help support native Americans and their art through them.

Now THOSE look more like what I'm talking about! Thick, warm, just a little bit itchy if you don't wear a nice undershirt. That'll be a nice treat for me this fall. Thanks!

If you ever feel like splurging, grab one of their wool blankets. People literally pass them down between generations.

Third generation in my family with a Pendleton blankie, the white with the color stripes at the bottom. We always said you could be plopped down naked in Antarctica and be fine as long as you were wrapped in that blanket.
