Near as I can tell, the only difference is price. When I bought mine, the price I paid was $60 and change-- a lot for a camping blanket I thought then, but ... great quality. Came with very strong moth-ball smell. Aired it out. Smell has abated. Heavier weight than I anticipated and that was a good thing. Went back to buy another and found price increase. Couldn't bring myself to lay out extra $30+ for camping blanket. Certainly would not pay near $120 for a camp blanket, that's for sure-- but that's me. $120 too expensive to risk in woods-- for me. For a household or cabin blanket at those prices, worth every bit of $90-$120, but too expensive now for carrying into woods IMHO. Hope this helps. Near as I can tell, the only difference is price.

It would appear to be there is no difference. Both look like the one I own. The blanket is of the best grade and quality I have ever seen, well worth the cost. It is 100% Wool, and 100% Quality. Will Keep you warm better than any blanket you own. Thanks.

I bought one of each. The Green one is rougher and did not have as strong a mothball smell. Green one had a stain and old illegible stamp marks on it. They both smelled, but the brown one, man you could smell it through the box it was shipped in. The brown one looked brand new. The seller that sent me the Brown one is Bike1guy Sports.

I have ordered 2 of these blankets at different times, from 2 different sellers.....the most recent was a couple weeks ago. They appear to be the same, with the exception of the "Italian Officers Blanket" stripes are narrower than on the other. Both are sold as "100% wool", both have a strong mothball smell, although the "Officers Blanket" odor was almost nauseating until I had it dry cleaned. Both are more of an olive drab color than a "rich brown", and I paid about the same price for both. ($3 difference) The "Officer's Blanket" I purchased in Nov '13 impressed me so much during the cold winter, I purchased another in June '14.

There is no difference. It's the same blanket. MP Surplus in Pinkard, Alabama has this blanket for $24. I bought two of them. Trust me. It's the same blanket. mosur plus.com

These blankets come in shades that vary. Some have been stored for 30 years while others are 50 years. Depending on the dye color they can vary from gray to dark green, to brown. Rare but it happens some were cut shorter then others as well. However all genuine Italian Army Blankets are great. The price has gone up on all levels. Once the source vanishes they will go up again! These blankets with care will last a very lifetimes. I have used one in near every abusive condition and they hold up VERY well!

100% wool vs 80% wool. I have both and they are both warm. I guess price is the difference that I see.

Dave21, it appears that they are the same blanket although one says it is "rich brown" and the one I received is od green, either way they are very warm. Just a hint, open it outside as the smell from mothballs is intense.

There is no difference, they are both 100% pure silk. We bought one of each, and you can't tell the difference. They are both labeled the same.

The only difference I see is the color changes to burgundy when you select extra large. We have the blue one and LOVE it!!!

I've owned 3 wool comforters. This one had a slight wooly odor when first opened. Also, wool is heavier than PFF, and this one is definitely heavier than that. It performs like wool, its assembled in USA from Australian wool--the cotton cover is made in China. I love this comforter--2 winters on it & still very warm & cozy!

Looks similar. I looked at: Rothco G.I. O.D. Casualty Blanket The Rothco description says wool but there's no wool. It's a reinforced plastic tarp with one side colored and one side aluminized so it's pretty thin so definitely no wool but it reflects heat very well. On sunny days my car's way cooler than it would otherwise be.

I have both @like both. The difference is one is stainless, the other is nickel. Love them both, can't beat this capo, either one of them.

Don't know difference, but I love the one I got. I have used it as my son's crib for months.

TBH there is not that much of a difference. This one has grommets on four corners, so it would be easier to string up. It is also in my opinion far more durable than your standard Mylar emergency blanket.

Both of these products are from Brookstone. Throw blanket is a smaller blanket. Something you'd cuddle up with on the couch but it wouldn't fit on a bed.

I think that it is a different brand. I'm very satisfied with this one, and have reordered as well as given a couple to family. My advice is to read reviews for both types.

The one I ordered was no different. It just cost less! If there is difference, I am not aware of it.

I don't think there is a difference...the cold gear UA garments that I have are all very similar, whether they have EVO in the name or not. I have some of their older gear, not EVO, and it's the same fabric more or less...the EVO may be tighter is the only thing I noticed.

The difference is the former & cheaper is actually better. This one is stainless steel but doesn't have the adjustable thickness option or the bowl option available. I bought the older version after this one and liked it much better. I hope this helps.

The warm skin is warmer than ordinary fleece. I have this and a thick traditional fleece balaclava and the warm skin is my go to in serious weather because it blocks wind better and is tight to your head. This product is a layer of fleece and a layer of tough shiny warm wind protection. I would hand wash . I've had 2 and I think my first one would have stayed thicker longer ( 2-3 years) if I had hand washed it.

I did not see any difference. Both great buys. One for myself last year and a gift for my son this year. One solid and one striped. Both are lightweight, have screw in the sand bases and come with sleeves. Great umbrella.

I don't believe there is any difference, I think it is a rebrand thing. Hope this helps...would never be without mine ...will use it for life.
