The 8knots High Seas Essentials [Kit] - $285

Evoking the era of luxury liners, the adventure of travel, the romance of shipboard life in an age when the journey itself was as important as the destination - the 8knots High Sea Essentials Kit includes:

A classic plaid deck-blanket made of 100% linen, woven in a yarn-dyed plaid pattern with an Oyster ground and crossing hues of Navy Blue, Taupe and Russet Orange. Wonderfully weighty and pleasantly tactile. Finished with classic blanket fringe. Measures about 54 x 66 inches (excluding fringe). Woven in Lithuania of linen yarns, cultivated in the Baltic Sea Region. Care: Dry clean only.

During the Golden Age of ocean liner travel (circa 1900-1950) the deck blanket (called a steamer rug) was an essential on transoceanic voyages, along with the iconic deck chair (steamer chair). The steamer rug was used draped over a passenger’s lap for keeping warm while sitting on deck. Use the 8knots deck blanket as an all season throw - on deck or at home relaxing on the couch.
