I enjoy their blankets. I have at least 4 of them, I hunt for the vintage ones because they are a heavier wool. The 3.5 and 4 point blankets are the perfect size.

That’s awesome. My daughter loves the classic Bay stripes. She has a blanket and a few other things from the Bay with that motif.

The higher quality stuff is worth it. Lately the newer stuff has become cheaper, maybe because of cost cuts?

Trying to find the right color blankets at the right price is hard. I have a lot of the cranberry colored ones.

They were one of my largest customers when I had my business. I owe a lot to HBC.

Apparently they have become very slow paying the past couple years but I never had that problem. I think it started when they were taken private.

This company is older than Canada, in fact, it started it. And I think it's more British than Canadian ;)
