About the original
The Faribault Mill Box Logo Blanket is a 72 by 48 inch wool-blend throw jacquard-woven at Faribault Woolen Mill Co. in Faribault, Minnesota, with a cream Supreme wordmark on a red field bordered by two horizontal cream stripes. Faribault Mill has spun and woven wool on the Cannon River since 1865, running every step of production on site (scouring, dyeing, spinning, weaving, and finishing) and is one of the last vertically integrated wool mills in the United States. The FW14 Supreme collab released December 11, 2014 at 248 USD retail; the red box-logo colorway was produced exclusively for Supreme. It preceded later Faribault collaborations including the FW21 Checkerboard throw and the FW24 Kate Moss throw.
About Faribault Mill
Faribault Mill is an American woolen mill founded in 1865 by Carl Henry Klemer in Faribault, Minnesota. The horse-powered carding factory began producing cloth, flannel, and wool blankets in 1872 and incorporated as the Faribault Woolen Mill Company in 1905. The mill supplied 100,000 olive drab blankets to the U.S. Army in World War I and produced more than half of all new wool blankets made in the United States by the time it closed in 2009. Cousins Chuck and Paul Mooty reopened the mill in 2011, and it still weaves on its original looms. Supreme has collaborated with Faribault on box-logo wool blankets and a Mike Kelley-printed throw.
