The drive to engender a sense of inadequacy within the consumer finds its ultimate irony in the Mil-Tec "jail blanket." The subtle inclusion of the scales of justice suggests increasingly quaint assertions of law and order, whilst the addition of stripes attempts to tie the fabric to a similarly archaic Western European symbolism, the "devil's cloth", albeit just as superficially. 

Features: 

• Dimensions: 77" x 59"
• 35.5% Wool, 33.7% Polyester, 14.5% Cotton, 9.8% acrylic, 6.5% nylon

Conscious examination of the item reveals a caustic double irony. One may chuckle at the thought of playfully imitating incarceration; in truth, the blanket unveils the very root of social stagnation corroding the 21st century. This blanket is a grim manifestation of post-Cold War reality. As contemporary market forces continue to pursue profit maximization in all aspects of life, even suffering and loss of freedom have been sterilized and commodified by an all-encompassing and uncompromising ideology. 

Constructed of a slew of materials with a rough-hewn fit and finish, the blanket faithfully imitates the squalor one would typically associate with images of prisons; yet, isn't this just a happy collision of profitability and aesthetic? The textile flirts with these grim realities without illuminating the uncomfortable and uncertain face of punitive justice. Purchasing such a piece is but an affirmation of capitalist realism's promise that even "rebellion" serves its ends; that even pursuit of the undercurrent, or as we all know too well, the ironic, is merely a mirage. Another data point pushing another firm further into the black, not out of necessity or progress, and yet we are told "for efficiency's, for pleasure’s sake." 

This description itself is its own affirmation of that same reality.

You should definitely buy one while you can.
