These jackets are mental. I don't know if I could pull one off. Maybe in more muted tonnes like this one:

Is that Jimmie Rodgers in the blanket jacket? [EDIT #1] Nice grizzly to the right, as well … [EDIT #2] I see something new every time I look at this picture. The guy asleep behind the blanket jacket chappie. Was this a posed "hobo" shot? [EDIT #3] And again, check the chap with his newsboy worn "modern style" backwards at the back right.

The guy at the bottom left looks like he is wearing a HB blanket coat.

I'm a little surprised that such 'degenerate' clothing was available in Germany at the time! But then there is no way of fully controlling all creative output in a country.
That brown and orange one is definitely my favourite in the thread Baron.

All the current manufacture Hudson Bay blanket coats are made in America by Pendleton.

Seems kind of like if Chevy started building Fords in Mexico.

Just for the record. Not hudson bay but it's a blanket coat. Missing the full belt but I think the beltback works good as is.

According to their website, Hbc no longer manufactures blanket coats, rather, they have lines of coats inspired by the ones they made until 2000 (sales were, sadly, insufficient). The site says they still make and sell the blankets, which are made in England.

Can you link to the Pendleton coats at all? It'd be interesting to see what you're referencing.

Close, but just not quite the same as the real deal.

They have a blanket-coat-themed bikini.

Nothing says Canadian, rugged, northern lumber jacking and fur trapping like a bikini...

Yikes!
