Chief Joseph Blanket 1923

Pendleton Woolen Mills has produced its Native American-inspired blankets since 1896 in Pendleton, Oregon. The Chief Joseph pattern — based on the geometric designs of the Nez Perce tribe whose leader Chief Joseph resisted forced relocation — is the brand's most iconic design. Pre-WWII examples with the original Pendleton label and heavyweight wool construction are the most collectible. The blanket's influence on fashion — from Ralph Lauren to Pendleton's collaborations with Opening Ceremony — is immeasurable. Value: $400–$1,500.
